Yes, that's a bit unfortunate omission from the site. The entry was
posted in 2011, so I can understand how it might be a bit out of date
and not reflect the current capabilities of modern version of
MS-Office. That being said, I think the FSF will still be reticent to
promote the use of MS-Office under its current licensing scheme.

This is precisely why I think we should split-up the campaigns, so the
FSF can continue to say "Please use ODF + Free Software," and an
interoperability group can say "Please use ODF for interchange."
