According to BetaNews, Microsoft has announced that they will support OpenDocument (ODF) and PDF in Office 2007 SP2. This comes as a major victory not only for OpenOffice.org and its offshoots, but also for open source in general. Microsoft is planning on making Office 2007 SP2 available in the first half of 2009.

No, not necessarily.
A broken implementation is worse than no implementation. MS are experts at that. They will bend the UI so that you would only *ever* want to import an ODF, and always save to OOXML for any hope of sanity.
The whole PDF thing was a joke also. Mac users have enjoyed printing to PDFs system-wide for years now.
My stance with Microsoft in these days, for _anything_ they say is:
I'll believe it when we see it and not a moment before.
