History says otherwise.
Note this snipping from the Software Development Times:
In a surprise move, the company also announced that it intends to
participate in the OASIS ODF working group and the corresponding
ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 Subcommittee 34 working groups
for ODF, as well as the ISO Technical Committee 171 working group
for PDF, said Doug Mahugh, senior product manager for Microsoft
Office.
I would not expect their 'participation' to be significantly
different from how they managed the ISO/OOXML debacle.
