Oh yes - I've got the compatibility pack as well so I can just about open the files, but it is those people who have bought their shiny new laptops, managed to cope with Vista and then want to send me a text file. Office 2007 is there, all shiny and new and just waiting to do so for them! Of course, they don't bother to note that it is generating .docx files, don't realise that it can be made to generate ordinary .doc files, and then in about 80 days, when they have a load of new .docx files on their new harddrive, the program will stop working so that unless they shell out about £80 they will no longer be able to access them. Sneaky.
Last time I acquired a new laptop, I managed to find one with XP on it, played around with Office 2007 and noted all this, then completely uninstalled it in favour of my old tried and trusted Office XP (2002).
But then, personal computing has always had to put up with this type of trick - due to the innovative business acumen of Bill Gates - it's worked for him!
