"only died-in-the-wool ABMers actually create ODF files"

And why would that be, Ms Anon C? Because so many other sheeple have purchased MSOffice (of various versions) and you DO want your mommy to be able to read your message, don't you?

So I hardly see having it save as .doc as a downside: it shows how much BETTER OOo is. And when MSOffice eventually DOES implement ODF, EVERYONE will be saving as default ODF. You still do want mommy reading your messages, don't you?
