Contributor spyyder on OpenOffice.org Word Processor

OpenOffice.org file saving options, save as....  
Written by spyyder the 30 Jul 08 at 22:46. New
On first boot of OpenOffice why not bring up a prompt that ask the user if they they want their default save format to be MS Office or OpenOffice format. I know Ubuntu wants to support open formats, but linux is about choice, why not offer it?? Defaulting to ODF is not very friendly and is no better than MS defaulting to their formats, even if ODF open.
