None. Microsoft Office 2007 implements something that supports a derivative of
OOXML. Remember: Microsoft has admitted that it has no commitment to support
OOXML, even if it passes the ISO acid test. IOW, Microsoft can continue
to 'extend' and take its fully proprietary route, even without this cloak
called OOXML (which fool some people that may no longer consider it
proprietary). XML != Open.

A lot more could be said...
