I have my new Win7 machine running alongside the old XP so I can move
into the new box with great care and deliberation.

Just found this bizarre difference in opening MS Word documents:

WordPad on XP will open *.doc files, but not the newer
*.docx files (which makes sense, since docx came along
much later.

WordPad on Win7 will open *.docx files, but NOT *.doc files.
Why in the world should that be?
