Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats

If your situation is anything like mine, you also find yourself without Office 2007 installed on all of your computers.  Onteh other hand, alot of people, or at least all of the people that I deal with at Microsoft, are already sending around documents in the new Office 2007 file formats (i.e., .docs, .xlsx, pptx, etc).   What to do ? Fortunately, the folks at Microsoft anticipated this situation and have provide an Office Compatability Pack to allow you to both read and write the 2007 file formats from within Office XP and Office 2000.  I just installed it on an XP laptop and it works like a charm !  Download it from here.
