Hi Guys, I do not know if you consider this as an achievement, but Microsoft Word 2007 can open and read all odt files. They have provided a add-in converter. If you have MsOffice on your PC and you double click an odt file, it gets the converter (once only) and installs it in MsOffice
I found this when a business associate to whom i send a odt file was able to open it without issues :-)
