there are more Windows Desktop users than Linux Desktop users
That's irrelevant. Most Windows desktops are running older versions of MS Office which do not output OOXML. I work for one of the world's biggest banks, and yes, most of the desktops are Windows, but it's Windows XP running 2003 versions of Word and Excel. The bank currently has no plan to convert to Vista, or the current versions of MS Office. I believe that's true of most big companies.
Given, furthermore, that you can run OpenOffice on Vista, I would not be at all surprised if OpenOffice had as many users as OOXML-capable versions of Word, etc. What's quite certain is that the number of people running OOXML-capable versions of Word cannot be more than a tiny fraction of all "Windows desktops".
