"You might not have noticed it yet, but the recent service pack 3
release for Microsoft Office 2003 contains a hidden "feature" — it
disables support for older Microsoft Office formats. If you've got any
old Word, Excel, 1-2-3, Quattro, or Corel Draw documents hanging
around your hard drive you'll need to delve into the Windows Registry
to open them."

Beware. This could have serious implications if you've archived older
files for reference or for corporate retention policies. You might
want to consider mass-conversion into a more secure format, like PDF
or OpenOffice XML.
