Under the name Sun ODF Plug-in for Microsoft Office, Sun has released its import/export filter for the OpenDocument format, which the ISO has recognized as a standard, for versions 2000, XP, and 2003 of Microsoft's Office suite; the plug-in can be downloaded via our software repository. The extension allows users of MS Office to read and create text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in the free OpenOffice suite and its commercial version called StarOffice.

You wouldn't get far in the business world.
Yes for doc files - but at the moment there is a "window" of opportunity of sending back any OOXML documents that you get sent by some stupid bs - pointing out as far as your concerned it is an unsupported format.
At the moment no one in my department has Office 2007. Personally I am looking forward to when our company upgrades to Lotus Notes 8 client and I have a good excuse to send everyone internally only ODF files.
I never send doc files out of the company anyway, only pdf's.

I "promote" ODF the simple ways: I refuse to open .doc files when I resive those becouse I dont wonna buy MS office suite and that is the best tool to open those files.
And when I send I always send ODF files with 1 link: to openoffice homepage

I do the same and do one better. I do open the files, convert them all to ODF and send it back to the author with an exported PDF file as well.
I point them to links and if they have do not have a fast internet connection, I send them them a CD with OpenOffice on it.
