The battle between the OpenDocument Format and Microsoft's Open Office XML was long, and here and there rather nasty, but it appears as if we finally have a winner. The company behind OOXML already conceded by announcing it would implement support for ODF in Office 2007 SP2, but now it has also said it quite literally: ODF has won.

Yeah, well it's up to implementation really.
Microsoft can say they support anything, but if it's not fully and standards compliant implemented, the value of it's inclusion is deminished.
Something about proof and puddings comes to mind.. hmm, I'm hungry.
Edit: Fixed a spelling error.
