Every MS Office user can save the much more compatible doc and xls
easily.

One of the major problems with Windows 7 (and possibly Vista - I can't
remember) is that the "Show file extensions for known file types" is
switched OFF by default (God knows why) so the user may not even KNOW
they are working with docx or xlsx instead of .doc or .xls...


This default setting is one of the most serious issues since Windows '95. They know very well why they install it like that. Every knowledgable user knows why this is the one of the first option to be turned off for each new Windows installation.



Absolutely. Just another little niggle in the consumer lock-in armoury of MS....
