A coalition of rivals charged on Friday that Microsoft's new Vista operating system coming out next week will perpetuate practices found illegal in the European Union nearly three years ago. The group, which includes IBM, Nokia, Sun Microsystems, Adobe, Oracle and Red Hat, said its complaints made last year are yet to be addressed just days before Vista is due for release.

This plugin does not exist (or has not been released) yet. In fact, I'm inclined to believe the former because in the last post the guys were asking for enough info to implement it.
The plugin exists, but for Word only; it is currently being tested by Massachusetts I believe. The Excel and Powerpoint plugins aren't done yet.
The plugin doesn't actually convert the document to useful ODF either: it just wraps untranslatable parts with ODF foreign tags (which is basically just using the escape hatch and no longer following ODF).
That's an oversimplification. Read the actual description of what it does, it's a bit more than just that.
