For me, it is like opening an Excel Spreadsheet with Adobe Photoshop 😛

Well, they offer compatibility packsfor popular products. Eg: Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility pack for older versions of Microsoft Office products

Microsoft products are well known for forward compatibility.

What do you think about this one? Will the old stuff open well once you upgrade to this one?
