To clarify here - Microsoft Office does not support the latest ODF
standards and they *partially* support older standard of ODF. You will
frequently get Microsoft Office complaining about "corrupted files" when
trying to open ODF despite the files being fully compliant with ODF
standards - thus it is a *false* message from MSO about the file being
corrupted instead of them admitting that they lack proper support.

Just wanted to make sure that was clear :)
