What I noticed is that the compatiability download is the MS's second most
popular download -- I'm wondering what that means. 

A lot of people getting 07 files, but don't have Office 07????

Just set it in the options and it will always default to save as 97-2003
version. there are also download availabel for Office 2003 to enable working
with the new file types but you still lose some of the features.
 
Have a look for example at the Save Option in Word. CLick the Office Button
and select Word Options then the Save category.

Oh -- that's good to know then -- you can choose to save a 2007 file in a
previous format. I suppose the download is aimed at users who have a 2007
document, but not the software then?

All Office 2007 apps use a four-character file extension, and yes, these
cannot be opened in any previous version of Office. However, if you wish to
maintain compatibility, use File | Save As and then you get the
version-options.
