It is a public standard format. Anybody can fully implement it in it own office suite. It is 100% platform independent, and nobody can change it without aproval of the standardization group. While MsOffice format is proprietary, only partialy documented, may contain components OS dependent, you can infrige intelectual properties and MS can change it without notice if this will bring more money to them. The MS choice is is the only right option. MS if want to sell his obsolete software, have to become compatible.
