If they switch from .doc to ODF they would also likely switch from MS Office to OO.o in the process unless they are planning to run OO.o along side of MS office just for the sake of having ODF support.

Funny thing, there is already the Visioo free ODF viewer, and also now a plugin for MS Word that will let you safe to ODF.
So it won't be long now before the whole "But you need to use OO.O" BS will be proved to be, well, BS.
(Just like the whold 'The Browser can't be removed from the OS' lie, but don't get me started on that).
