even before expiry date, office 2007 converts all your old documents
to be sure you can NOT use them with a purchased pre-2007 version.

Wrong.

..docx (and other compressed XML file formats) can be opened with older versions once the compatibility pack has been installed <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en>

It works with:

# Microsoft Word 2000 with Service Pack 3, Microsoft Excel 2000 with Service Pack 3, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 with Service Pack 3

# Microsoft Word 2002 with Service Pack 3, Microsoft Excel 2002 with Service Pack 3, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 with Service Pack 3

# Microsoft Office Word 2003 with at least Service Pack 1, Microsoft Office Excel 2003 with at least Service Pack 1, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 with at least Service Pack 1

# Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003

# Microsoft Office Excel Viewer 2003

# Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2003
