Microsoft and Novell have wasted little time in demonstrating there is real work being done as part of their recent Linux interoperability pact. Just a month after the historic deal between the companies, Novell said today it will support the proprietary document format in Microsoft Office 2007, Open XML, in its open-source version of the OpenOffice productivity suite by the end of January.

Basically, it has nothing to do with Linux interoperability. M$ still refuses to support the standard format, instead they convinced Novell to support theirs. And what's Novell got to do with OpenOffice in the first place?
