  2) Microsoft Office 2007 won't support standard ISO OOXML
  

  
  
  If that is the case a service pack will most likely bring the OOXML format up to ISO standard and allow for backward compatibility saving (pre ISO standard). This approach seems to make the most sense, however since Service Packs are free and recommended I don't see why this should pose much of a problem for most people.
