I seriously doubt that Microsoft's "death grip" still exists. And it is not OpenOffice that won that "format war". Adobe's PDF did. For every document that leaves the door of the corporation. Its been a long, long time that I've received word document or found one on a corporate web site.
Microsoft Office is still widely used, no doubt about it. But now it is somehow degraded to ... the internal choice of each and every corporation. PDF is
Lingua franca, the "corporate format".
