why would someone convert from 2007?
In general most business stepping over to openoffice have/had at least office 2003. In that case converting is no problem.
When a business wants to step over to openoffice from ms-office 2007 it will be planned way a head. This gives time to use ms office 2007 to save the office formats to the 2003 formats. So no problem either.
In any case, converting documents is never a good idea when these document could be use in any kind of legal dispute. After converting the trustworthy of a document is just nog that high any more. In this case you don't wan't to convert the documents but only want to be able to read it. This can be done using the free ms-office readers from ms.
In short, don't get why its such a big deal that openoffice is late with the converting tool... there should be no need for it when applying document management.
