This is bollocks, actually, typical Linux weenie FUD.
It was certainly true up to Office 97 - you can't open a Word 97 document in Word 2, I won't argue with that - but since then, apart from Access, things have been rather different. On my network we're running versions from 97 to 2003 without really caring which version is used to work on which document.
