Now on Safari 3 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 that file will download (I do  
get a warning first from Safari that it doesn't know what the file is  
- am I sure I want to download it) but it won't open on that machine  
as I don't have an application to deal with it.

On Mac OS X 10.5.1 it opened in TextEdit which seemingly in Leopard  
can now deal with .docx files.
