  1. Re:Yep, it's happening in the Navy, too.... on U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off · · Score: 1

    Uh, that is Forwards Compatibility. There is a big difference.

    • Backwards Compatibility - You can load files from older versions of Office into the new version
    • Forwards Compatibility - You can load files form the newer version of Office into the older.

    The latter is much harder to provide -- and slightly less important -- in software development, and requires a lot of forethought.

    Wait, you mean the government won't give it back to me? Damn
