Sadly Microsoft had an ally -or should I say Trojan- in the form of Novell
Corp, which fought to have its patches for "better MS-OOXML compatibility"
added to OpenOffice.org -they even created their first and own OO.o fork,
Go-OO.

You should check Roy Schestowitz´ techrights.org site and look for the
ooxml tag...

For instance:
