Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 0.2 (Beta)
Today not only marks the release of a new beta Remote Desktop client from Microsoft, but also a new beta Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 0.2 (Beta). What the heck is this? It converts Office files that use Microsoft's new Open XML file format (i.e. files created in Office 2007 for Windows) into a file format that Office 2004 for the Mac can read. This release promises improved conversion of files containing inline graphics, amongst other things.Since this is a beta Microsoft warns that all files might not be converted correctly. They suggest you open the file and make sure it looks like it should.
Update: As was pointed out in the comments, this only converts Word and PowerPoint documents.

Perhaps you should update your post... it only converts Word and Powerpoint files. MacBU has got no love for excel just yet.

This sucks. How can they say this can be used with office V.x from 2001, but not have it work on Panther, from 2003-2005?! MS, get your head out of your ass. Not everyone has the recourses to run the latest and greatest. Good thing I do have a machie running tiger, but my iBook runs Panther (not enough RAM), but then again, not everyone has even one machine running tiger.
The same goes for RDC 2.0 beta.
