I agree. If Microsoft really wanted to adopt ODF, they could have done so by now. Or at least they could have said so.
If their own format ("Word memory dump in XML" :-) doesn't get through ISO, they'll just keep using it anyway. Last thing they want is to have a format which enables _anyone_ to switch to an alternative office suite seamlessly.
