I don't know if a Mac can just read the file, but if you download Open Office, I know OO can read the file.

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is supposedly coming out in April. [link] If the info is true, folks who are considering buying a Mac might want to wait until April. (The info is that 10.4 will be anounced on April 1 and in stores April 15.)
