You do realize that OOo is available for Windows and Mac too? It's not just a Linux thing :-)
MS Office didn't support OpenDocument Format until it's 2007 version, and I doubt it does it well -- Microsoft wants to create their own open format in answer to ODF. They are basically XML files inside a Zip file, just get a .docx file from someone using Office 2007 and run unzip on the file. It will extract into a directory tree with some XML files that contain the document and it's meta-data. From what I hear, the XML files aren't very well formed.
I say stick with a real document format that will actually be supported by people outside the world of Proprietary Software, and by some who do make Proprietary Software. ODF FTW! ;-)
