Yes, OOXML is an ISO standard, but ODF is too, and earlier, and doesn't have weird "even we don't know what this does" settings.
There's a lot on Groklaw about how MS rammed OOXML through ISO and pretty much crippled the committee in the process.
For this reason, I keep a Win8.1 VM around (cheapo but legit licences can be had) and a $100 annual subscription to Office.
I can get Office 365 for free through work, but haven't bothered. They don't seem to have a Linux version available, so I'd have to run it in a VM or only on my notebook, when booted into Windows.
