In my little circle it's the other way around. The longer MSOffice goes without supporting ODF, the longer I can tell people "here is an ODF document, you'll have to go grab OpenOffice to edit it, it's really easy to set up"... I think they're just realizing "hey -- OpenOffice -and- GoogleDocs both support this, *maybe* it's time to get up to speed here". I can't imagine any harm that could come to anything except MSOffice if they didn't start supporting ODF like everybody else so... that doesn't really seem like the makings of any conspiracy theory to me!
