I wonder if they’re referring to Office 2003. If that’s the case, then I don’t see what the problem is other than sticking with proprietary formats. I’d suggest that Office 2003 is more capable than 99 percent of the “modern” office suites out there. The one percent being occupied by Office 2007 — maybe.
Regardless, this relatively shoddy reporting and probably highlights a shortcoming of the Obama transition team than anything else. If it’s such a big deal to them, they should have handled it before moving into their new digs.

Sounds like logistics and bureaucracy is more to blame. Of course, The Washington Post wouldn’t let that get in the way of a story trashing Bush. You would think they would have contacted Bush staffers for comment.
