Working of Office Docs within VB

When clients move to Office 2007 I have a new option for working with their documents.
The new xlsx and docx formats are based on the OpenXML standard. This means that these can be opened without office even being installed on the machine.

So my application could open and read the contents of these documents without having to use com. The number of problems and issues this would solve!
The technology to look into for this is Linq to XML
