MS Office file format compatibility

I like KOffice's features, no doubt. One of my favourites for years has been the PDF Edit feature, very handy at times. And I like a lot that KOffice uses ODF by default now.

However, on a daily basis, I use OpenOffice.org. The reason is that I'm in a Microsoft shop. I need really good MS Office .doc, .xls, and .ppt file format compatibility, which OO.o has in spades. Once KOffice improves in this way, I'll use KOffice more. I'd really like to, it's very memory efficient due to shared libs.
