Docx (or more correct, Office Open XML) is standardized by ECMA. The spec is available to anyone who wants it, and can be implemented by anybody who can follow the spec. If you're having trouble opening a docx file, you're missing software but that doesn't mean you have to go buy Office 2010 to be able to open it.
