I can relate. My users also have cohorts at other organizations who save their documents in the default format, send it as attachments to my users, who then say they can't open the.docx or.xlsx formats.
I say, "Lemmie try," and open it with Spiffy Office 2007, save as "Office 97-2003 Format for Compatibility," and send the attachment to BOTH the user, the person who sent the attachment, and a fancy one-pager document informing everyone that Office 2007 hasn't even broken 50% market share yet.
That's why I've held off upgrading everyone to Office 2K7, though we have the licenses (eOpen Licenses... Good for 2007 and the previous version, in this case, 2003). Wait until we're all making.docx and.xlsx's (which appears to be a.zip file with the respective document in XML format, plus other resources like images and graphics and do-nothing files for extra file-size padding... like an Apple.pkg format...)
The main thing keeping me off windows, are the numerous worms and bugs and other creepy-crawly stuff. Within an hour of connecting a Windows computer to a "big pipe"-based broadband connection, and infection has already happened.
Meanwhile, my iMacDV hasn't been reformatted since I bought it in 99, and it's now running 10.3, and there hasn't been reason to reformat or otherwise ultimately disinfect the machine yet!
Only one of the most uNF-looking Colour Cellular Phones available. This news comes as quite a shock; we were waiting for the Sendo, as a Canadian Distributor. This just about changes everything...
This reminds me of the Freedows project. It's odd that, after years of hype for Freedows (an os that would run MacOS, *nix, Windows, other) programs, parallel to each other and at the same time, using one microkernel, their website has now become a pr0n gateway. Original concept here.
This sounds like a neat scheme and all... but what about the BeOS mp3 players planned, utilizing the BeOS BFS system for organizing and searching mp3s, based on critera such as length, author, title, compression, etc etc... All of the features mentioned with this new CDA format can be done with BFS...

There hasn't been a better time than now to enter the wonderful world of RETAIL.
Start figuring your life out, serve the PUBLIC who serve technology, but don't serve the technology alone.
Technology will die, the public will not. Well, not until the rapture.

Behold, I spew buzz words from my mouth:

Even Marine Biologists can make it in Mobile Computing.
