"Today's another exciting day as we move closer to Beta 1. We are just wrapping up the MVP summit here in Redmond and we've finally announced another piece of functionality I've wanted to talk about for a long time now. This afternoon Steven Sinofsky announced to our MVPs that we will build in native support for the PDF format in Office 12."

When I was asked what feature bring OpenOffice.org over Microsoft Office. My answer usually is pdf export (to non geek user who don't know and don't care about OpenDocument).
I can't answer like that anymore.
However, OOo2 uses traditional office suite interface with new format (OpenDocument).
Office 12 also uses new format (Open XML) but whole new interface too.
This add learning curve for Office 12 than OOo2. No one knows that new interface is good or not, then this is chance for OOo2 because it will release in weeks compare with Office 12 for months.
