Yeah, whether they mean it to be or not, this could easily be the kiss of death for ODF. Now, if you save in Word's native format, you have to buy a copy of Word (which is a sunk cost to most people anyway). But if you use ODF, you have to pay for Word plus $90 for a plugin. Whatever theoretical advantages ODF might offer, it's not going to be $90/user worth to most people, or worth using OpenOffice instead of Word. Too bad; it was a neat idea while it lasted.
