Microsoft ODF Translator v1.0

So, it has been released, but is it any good? The answer seems to be a big NO and maybe more interesting to know is that it will never work:

The abridged version of the story is that XSLT methods for transforming from one dialect of W3C-conforming XML to another dialect of W3C-conforming XML will always work. It is definitional. If it does not work, then one of the "W3C-conforming" dialects is a punk. Well, we and Microsoft know XSLT well enough to know in advance that the design of Microsoft Office Open XML would make it impossible for this, the Clever Age approach, to work for the Translator. Let me say this clearly: Microsoft knew in advance that XSLT would provide shitty tranform from Microsoft Office Open XML to ODF and they funded the Clever Age project to use this method.

None of that is surprising of course, Microsoft is simply trying to protect their big cash cow (MS Office) and they will use any and all tricks in the book to keep their lock-in.
