Re:Warning... Is this true?

I'd like to see more comments about the incompatibilities shown in these comments about m$office incompatibilities. Is this really true? Can others verify it? I have not used m$office in eons...I am an OOo and Linux user. But I have passed along this tale, a couple of times. Someone came back and said that using "Save As" will allow you to save to an earlier version, and that opening a file should not alter it a bit. Both of these comments make sense. But they do not agree with the tale I am replying to...

I also know that a least one sysadmin has rec'd a "free" copy of office 2003 as a sampler. Put the two stories together, multiply it by numbers of users, and this tale sounds very bad for businesses. I would like to learn if others are experiencing this as well.
