A bit off topic and really just a bit of amusement, but...

Most administrators at our school have their (completely text based!) memos emailed to faculty/staff as Word attachments. These attachments are now showing up in docx format. For me, the recalcitrant MacNut, I won't get Word to see their memos and I've given up trying to convince the admins and assistants that sending text as docx is wasting bandwidth and offering a macro-virus vector to everyone.

So, how do I view these "important" documents - QuickLook does just fine with docx, and if a print is needed, then TextEdit handles it adequately.

Our administration does the same thing. But when the revolution comes, and the faculty take back the university and hang the last administrator with a Microsoft Itellimouse, we can then communicate via ascii text or at worst, pdfs.
