When someone creates a document in the editor of his choice, and is capable of 
opening it fine in his version, also is able to get others to open it fine.  
But when he sends it to his friend in ODF that friend tells him it looks like 
shit.
Where do you think that user feels the problem is?

History shows, its _always_ the application that does not have the market 
lead. (not my finding, but I failed to find the quotation, sorry)

So, while I agree that its nice to get that prove, I disagree that first of 
all we need that prove and second of all it creates the problem that all 
problems from MS Office, from MOOX and from OOo will all be blamed on ODF.
Remember, people quickly forget successstories, but they remember bad 
experiences for years.
