I have been following http://www.oooninja.com for a little while and noticed that there seems to be a quite substantial fork going on.
http://ooop.wiki.sourceforge.net/
There is for those who just want just that support without installing all of that.

Ive not tested any of the mentioned proejct yet, partly because there is no 64 bit version of odf-converter-integrator yet. I could of course just run it inside 32 bit linux inside a virtualbox or something...

So whatever you may think of ooxml, we seem to be implementing it .odf-converter-integrator is an easy way to open Microsoft Office 2007 files (also called Office Open XML, .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx) with a high-quality conversion on any Linux or Windows system in any OpenOffice.org.
odf-converter-integrator uses the high-quality odf-converter code (which converts between Office Open XML and OpenDocument) as packaged by Novell and integrates it into the operating system. That means when you click on a .docx/.xlsx/.pptx file on a web page, in an email attachment, or your desktop, odf-converter-integrator springs into action, converts the .docx/.xlsx/.pptx to an .odt/.ods/.odp, and then automatically opens the new document in OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, Abiword, KWord, Gnumeric, Microsoft Office 2003, or whatever is your default ODF editor.
odf-converter-integrator is simply a little glue to overcomes the integration limitation of the Novell odf-converter, which cannot integrate into most editions of OpenOffice.org (such as the vanilla/Sun Microsystems edition, Fedora, OxygenOffice, and others).
Ive not tested any of the mentioned proejct yet, partly because there is no 64 bit version of odf-converter-integrator yet. I could of course just run it inside 32 bit linux inside a virtualbox or something...
