Are we not jumping the gun with the claim that this will lock people into Microsoft Office? OpenOffice does open and write.docx format(if I remember correctly) and only the document standard is fixed, not the software to be used. I Don't see any other choice for a standard, since the standard has to be widely used and Microsoft Office is the market leader right now.
