backward compatability
(OP)
Is NX8 backward compatable. I thought I heard something about it, I'm more than likely wrong.

RE: backward compatability
However, between maintenance relases files can move back, for example, I can open an NX 7.5.4.x file with NX 7.5.1.x, but I can't open that file using NX 7.0.x or any other release before NX 7.5. And NX 8.0 will be no different.
Now that being said, you have always been able to export the solid/sheet body models in a format which can be opened by older versions of NX, via...
File -> Export -> Parasolid...
...where you can select the target version of NX that you would like to open the MODELS in. Now this will only include the Solid and Sheet bodies, but NO curves, drawings, sketches, etc,.

Exporting the solid/sheet body is the best you can hope for.
