Create a "security concern" over the previous .doc format, disable it entirely, then allow people to "fix their mistake" by proving their copy of Office 2003 is legitimate, as well as steer people to the new format.

I use Open Office these days. It's good enough, and quite compatible.

It's nice that it's free, but I'd happily pay 50,000 won for a goddamn Eraser feature. Why TF can't they give us a goddamn Eraser feature???!!!!
