[BC] O/S Question

[Sid Schweiger]

>>They may have a perfectly fine copy of 
Office97, for example, and when they buy a new computer, they install it and keep 
using it. After all, it has always done everything they ever needed.<<

Only problem is: Office 97 is 16-bit, and will not install on 32- or 64-bit operating systems.

>>Now, someone sends them a "DOCX" file, and they cannot open it.<<

Yes, they can.  Microsoft made the file converters available for free at the same time Office 2007 was released.
