NewsForge reviews NeoOffice 2.1 and concludes: "All in all, NeoOffice 2.1 is an incremental improvement over NeoOffice 2.0 Beta 3. Microsoft Office OpenXML compatibility is still a weak point, and if you are looking for help, you are better off avoiding the inconsistent and outdated documentation on the wiki and heading directly to the discussion forum. Nevertheless, NeoOffice remains far superior to the X11-based Mac builds of OpenOffice.org. The OS integration work is impressive, and the new features make the suite as a whole all the more indispensable."

AFAIK, the OpenXML format is so cryptic it might as well have the "open" moniker omitted.
Fat chance. Remember the Holy Roman Empire, which was "neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire"? Well now there's the "Common Internet Filesystem", which is neither common (to anyone but MS), nor Internet-related, nor a Filesystem.
MS is becoming the Sick Man of Technology (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_man_of_Europe#Origin)
