Is Microsoft really getting scared that OpenDocument Format is getting a large momentum? Well I guess that'a a yes. Not only they're moving their strategy to patenting the transformations of their XML, but they're starting to evangelize on the "we're nice and open on the formats" side with http://openxmldeveloper.org/
Well it sound very much like a tactical marketing response to http://opendocumentfellowship.org
This video actually show a pretty much staged and edited discussion about how great the whole thing is. Who can really believe this? This is so different from the videos shot by Robert Scoble that really showed interesting things mainly because they are sincere.

At 16:50 "There are actually other people out there that are doing the same thing: they're using zip and XML for their formats" :-)
A very nice read is the Comments on Microsoft’s Letter to Massachusetts by David A. Wheeler at Groklaw.
