OOXML will spread anyway because MS Office 2007 and 2010 use this

Yes you can do something about it. Don't enable writing in that
format. Use PDF's for communicating. If a MS user needs to be able to
modify a document, use .doc format. There is no need to use .docx
format. MS Office 2008 and 2011 can still read .doc files.

Sure, but how about conservation and readability by future generations (when there's no more Microsoft knowledge around and nobody knows anymore how to decrypt all the nuances of.doc + .docx files) ?


None of you get the point, do you.
1. It is arrogant to return a document in a format different to that
which was sent to you. (That's why email clients always reply in the
same format in which the original message was received)

It must be arrogant for them to send you a format you don't support.
Also, if the Win 7 users don't know what format the documents are in,
why does it matter if it's returned to them in a .doc format?

Think you hit the nail on the head, pal.
Those who ignore any notion of a file format, will do it both ways, always, anyways...
