Still waiting
However, Jason Matusow, Microsoft director of standards affairs, said in a statement: "The ODF format is limited to the features and performance of OpenOffice and StarOffice and would not satisfy most of our Microsoft Office customers today."

Still waiting for someone to tell us what features ODF doesn't support. Considering that the biggest names in document management (including Boeing, despite the fact that the public doesn't know that side of them) contributed to ODF, the burden is on those claiming that ODF has shortfalls.
