Imho, this is a very pragmatic and customer-focused move on Adobe's part
We had all the noise last week about IBM supporting Open XML in a number of their products. Today I learned that Adobe's Buzzword, a web based wordprocessor, now supports reading and writing .docx files. Very cool: http://forum.buzzword.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=980
I think they also have plans on supporting ODF, but it's not clear when that will be available.

p.s. in case anyone else is keeping track, this update from Adobe addresses point #18 in the ODF Alliance response to the Burton Group ODF/OOXML overview. Guy Creese and I will address the rest of the ODF Alliance concerns next week; stay tuned for details.
