Microsoft will not support OpenDocument in its next version of Office 12 as it believed the format to be inferior and said is not compatible with older versions of Office
*/
I'm missing something here -- how is this different from MSXML:

2) You open an MSXML file in MSOffice 2000, what happens?
Looks to me like the answer's the same.
