It makes perfect sense. What you're missing is the other factor: how crap and deliberately unimplementable MS's format is.

Bullsh*t. There is already a working converter. KOffice just needs to execute it. If KOffice's ODF support is good enough (the converter does OOXML->ODF), most OOXML files will open just fine in KOffice.

This converter is using Mono which many people don't like. So it won't be included with KOffice.

That's why I wrote "optional". Nobody should be forced to install it, but people should have the option to do so. Learn to read.

Microsoft makes it illegal for individual developers to implement the OOXML specification. So pleas pay the legal risks and cost of implementing a OOXML<->ODF converter. But you probably don't care about legal risks as you wrote in an earlier statement. Put your money where your month is, or are you just another Troll?:
