Why would you possibly need Microsoft tools?

Word Perfect opens MS formats - OpenOffice.org opens MS formats - AbiWord
does, KOffice does, AppleWorks, ThinkFree Office, Ability Office,
EasyOffice, TextEdit, Lotus SmartSuite, 602PC Suite, StarOffice,
GnomeOffice, Evermore Intergrated Office, Writely, WPS Office, NeoOffice/J
--- All of these software programs - every single one of them, at least
opens MS formats. Many of these run on OSes other than MS Windows, in fact,
a lot of them are not available for Windows. So please enlighten me as to
why in the world they would need anything from Microsoft?
