Not to be an MS fanboy, I use whatever works, but I do not see what all the ruckus is about. First of, since Open Office is so much better, why does this even apply to people posting comments? It baffles me how many people waste so much time and energy posting anti-MS comments and filling up the front page with Anti-MS rhetoric. If you don't like the company don't but their products and STFU! I hate IE, so I use Firefox. End of story. This doesn't mean I'm not on some crusade to force Firefox on everyone else, and submit anti IE stories on news sites. I'm not going to post the same old tired comments over and over and over again.
About the article, if you are using such old versions of documents, install an older version of Office, problem solved. If you want to use newer versions of office, convert those very old documents to a newer version. Any company with a decent IT department can get their people to script the whole deal and have the documents converted in a days time. Think that solution is garbage? Install Open Office! No nevermind, lets just all post "fight The Man" comments on slashdot.
