Open standards doesn’t magically solve compatibility issues for very complex software: I remember ODT files having their layout completely messed up when opening them with a different version of Open Office. And this was minor version changes, not major ones. I had way less problem with modern variant of MS Word. That being said, I’m all for open formats.

The major difference is that one is a technical challenge, and the other was a marketing decision.
