While Office 12, Microsoft's next-generation desktop suite, is not expected to hit Beta 1 until later this fall, Microsoft officials are set to show off a number of its components at the company's annual Professional Developers Conference in mid-September. Recent developer conferences have focused almost exclusively on operating system and tools futures. But this year's will include dozens of tracks aimed at Office developers and users.

"Yates reiterated the Microsoft does not intend to natively support the OpenDocument format, which he said was very specific to the OpenOffice.org 2.0 open source productivity suite."
Wrong. Dead wrong:
Applications supporting OpenDocument
* Abiword 2.3, through the OpenWriter plugin
* eZ publish 3.6, with OpenOffice extension
* Knomos case management 1.0 [3]
* KOffice 1.4, released on June 21st 2005
* OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 and 2.0 beta
* Scribus 1.2.2, imports OpenDocument Text and Graphics
* TextMaker 2005 beta [4]
Also I believe StarOffice.
