Not sure what you mean by this, as Windows does not support .doc files either - not natively anyway.

Open Office is a compromise - a valiant one, but still behind the eight ball when it comes to keeping up.

Both MS-Word and Apple Pages do a very good job running on OSX in opening very complex .doc files, as generated by Windows versions. I use both daily - same with Excel spreadsheets using Apple Numbers.
