[dba-Tech] Google docs removes old Windows formats

Google online docs no longer supports the older Microsoft formats. This is
an ongoing process to update to the newer formats. Not to worry as the OSS
formats will always be supported like ODT, RTF, ODS, CSV, SVG, PNG, JPEG,
PDF, TXT and HTML.

Support for doc, .xls, .ppt and even support for IE8 (and older...couldn't
be soon enough) is now gone, as of October. This effectively means if you or
your client's are still using XP or older versions of IE, they may have
trouble communicating.
