An excerpt:

While OOXML-compliant software seems conspicuous by its absence, ODF
goes from strength to strength: there is literally no contest between
the rival standards in this respect.

That's not to say that there aren't still teething problems with ODF,
with incompatibilities of varying seriousness showing up between
alternative implementations. For example, when you move your document
from one program to another, internal details may change, upsetting the
overall layout. These problems are acknowledged, and are being worked on
in the spirit of co-operation and mutual benefit.

But that may be cold comfort to companies that actually want to use ODF,
and are worried about problems down the line. Indeed, such concerns may
well be serious brake on ODF uptake.

Here's a valuable new free service that should help. It aims to spot
problems before you send out documents that might be viewed on different
platforms. It's called Officeshots.org.
