[H]ardOCP:

Users anxiously awaiting the Open XML converters for Office 2008 for Mac should be good to go next month, if Microsoft stays true to their word. Without these converters, Office users that are on a version prior to the 2008 release are unable to open Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents or save existing files as Open XML. The converters have been available for Windows since October 2007.



In February, Microsoft delayed the release of Open XML converters that would let Office 2004 for Mac users work with documents produced by Office 2007 on Windows and Office 2008 on the Mac. At the time, Microsoft said it would release the converters in late June.
