I'm not a fan of the Office suite of programs, but as Gerard already 
said, "Whatever floats your boat."

I would, however, like to see *everyone* use an open standard for office 
documents.  I don't think that holding communication hostage in order to 
ensure the proliferation of your own software is ethical.  Sell your 
software because of things like feature set, performance and 
reliability, not based on the fact that businesses need to exchange 
documents, and as long as you have the dominant format you can secure 
your market position.
