Default Opening Excel 07 using older Excel

Many here are saying to just "save as" the older file format .xls. Why is it
that we've (us users) accepted this as the only solution? It doesn't seem to
make much sense to me that this is the accepted solution. It seems pointless
to buy/use new software only to have to save files as the older format? I
figure Microsoft would've incorporated a fix for this already considering
2007's been out for over 1 year. My question is does anyone know if
Microsoft is doing anything to somehow/someday allow an older Excel to
adequately open/edit Excel 2007 .xlsx files?
