MOOX is currently a no-show.  So of the two, people are using ODF.

That is going to grow.  Here is a list of governments choosing to back
ODF with policy:

Another reason it will grow is that OOo uses ODF by default and there
are a large number of deployments:

No. ODF is not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction.  MOOX
undermines that.
