Co-authoring will be revolutionary I reckon, it's in my 'top 5 drivers for clients to upgrade to 2010'. In answer to your questions:
SharePoint Foundation is fine.
Yes web and rich client (i.e. Word 2010) both support co-authoring, the experience is basically the same from what I've seen.
Probably, but remember that whoever hosts the functionality also ...

After some researching I found this blog addressing "Could not open (url)":
http://petervdberg.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-enable-save-and-send-option-in.html
If you are using Windows 2008R2 this could be solution. I checked my machine and 'Desktop Experience' feature was already installed so I was unable to reproduce your problem.

No, because the SPServices Cascading dropdowns functions on list forms. To my knowledge, you can't specify metadata before creating a document. You could require check in/out on the document library to force an item be checked in before being available and this would let you use the SPServices cascading dropdowns since that's effectively an editform.
I'm ...

This problem is caused by differences in the SourceID property of the metadata fields. If you compare the value of SourceID on a field of a content type in one library with the same field of a content type in another library you will see that they differ, and they are used inside the Word document when referencing the metadata field.
The solution is to set ...

Not sure about other examples but this one works for me (using application page)
Application page markup contains:
<input type="file" id="InputFile" runat="server" class="ms-fileinput" />
Code behind (eg. on button click):
var fStream = InputFile.PostedFile.InputStream;
var fileName = InputFile.PostedFile.FileName;
var contents = new ...

This can be done, but you need to use one Content Type for each template needed. Create a new content type. Give it whatever name you would like, but set dropdown properties as defined. Would suggest to define a group name for these content types (I used Test Type with Template).
Next go to the Advanced Settings for this new content type. This is ...

You do not have access to the DIP in Office Web Apps. Since you're using the web UI already it's easy to go the the item in the library and change it's properties there. If you need more advanced DIP's (for instance built with InfoPath) then you need to modify the edit, new and view forms of the page to get the "same" experience as in the full fledged Office ...

That is just the way it is in my experience when the library is set to not require check out, which is the default. Even if check out is not required, you can check any document out to put a file lock on it so others can't make changes while you have it.
Try toggling the library option to require check out and see if that makes any difference.

I have not seen anyone create a workflow capable of converting word files to PDF out of the box, but i have seen third party solutions that enable workflow features like this in SharePoint.

I looked at this once for 2007, but I must confess I've not tried for 2010.
The best advice I can give based on my 2007 experience is:
to create a Word Template that
restricts the styles a user can
use.
avoid images entirely.
don't be afraid to consider 3rd party
converters - or writing your own.
if you've already got those Word files
full of content, ...

It's actually possible to rename/move a file, but you must do it programmatically using client object model or server object model - File.MoveTo
Here is an ugly example (didn't test it, might be some typo):
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
....
using(var ctx = new ClientContext("http://yoursharepoint/web_containing_library/"))
{
var lib = ...

I don't see how this would be possible as changing the file type from DOC to DOCX would create a new item...i.e. you can't change the name of a SPFile object.
Your best bet is to probably write some code or a script to convert the docs as you migrate them to a new library along with their metadata and then retire the original doclib.

Now to do the same thing with code. I am taking from your question, that you can create the custom content type in code. Just in case, here are links to two options, one through code and using the list definition. I am also going to guess that you need to deploy this using a feature, which is why you need to use visual studio.
The code option makes the ...

One option is to use an alternate CSS to modify the print view of SharePoint pages. By stripping out much of the SharePoint specific stuff, and using special tags in your HTML columns you may be able to load it successfully into word (or just print directly).
Some custom options to get to word:

If you run your farm on least privilege settings, you can get the above error.
Be aware of the security demand for the Word Viewing Service are quite high:
When you create a new application pool, you can specify a security
account that is used by the application pool to be either a predefined
Network Service account or a managed account. The account ...

Since you are on a hosted 2007 environment server-side PowerShell and C# are out of consideration. Your best bet is to use jQuery to retrieve the Wiki article content via the lists.asmx Web service.
IIRC, there is a jQuery SharePoint Web service library on www.codeplex.com which could be helpful, but I never tried it myself.

It is very easy to create a control or a web part and place it on the page. The control would contain a button with code behind that uses OpenXML to generate the Word document.
I've done similar things and it's very easy. Just create a Word document using Word and format it as you like, then use the Document Reflector from the OpenXML SDK v2+ to generate a ...

Not 100% sure what you mean by "She wants the document opened as a new (macro enabled) document as if the word template were opened in Windows Explorer", but what I think you need is Content Types.
Create a custom Content Type (based on the Document content type as the parent) for each document template you want to have. Then in the Content Type settings ...

You can do it with a custom Content Type using the Document Content type, and setting a document library to use this content type. Have you tried it? Are you sure if "Allow management of content types" option is also turned on?
The mandatory fields you add to the custom content type, will show in the Document Information Panel in Microsoft Word, and will ...

If the task is to insert the version history of the word document into the document when generating and sending the pdf then you can use Open XML SDK to generate a temporary document with the version history and then Word Automation service to generate the pdf.
A good starting point is the MSDN article Developing with SharePoint 2010 Word Automation ...

I would recommend creating a custom page (can be layout page, web part page with some JavaScript, etc.) that is the target of the email link.
The page should accept a URL parameter which has the value of the URL of the target document.
This method is required to ensure that the document opens in Word with the correct "connection" to the SharePoint ...

Although I have never tried myself, I know you can leverage SharePoint's documnet conversion service to convert docx files into web pages.
First, you must enable the service. You may follow this link.
You can also create your own document converter. You can get started here: SharePoint Server 2010 Document Converter Development Overview (ECM)
Also, there ...

Yes it is possible in Office 2010. You have to set the Excel file up as a data connection for your chart data in Word and then specify which worksheet to use.
The caveat to this approach is that you are now embedding the URL to the SharePoint server in your Word document, which effectively hides it. This means that if your SharePoint server changes URL ...

I will say: switch to PowerShell! Now!
I see one other option to retrieve desired document template without opening all documents - use SharePoint List web service: http://<Site>/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx If you call Lists.GetListItems Method and provide CAML query like:
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef ...

If the Template ID is a column in the list, why do you need to open the template? I assume you mean the Template ID is a property of the document. I suggest you look into syncing your column values with Word doc properties. Check out this link for more info.

Once you have the values synced, you ...

It looks like StreamAccessor is a read only process.
I'm not sure you could implement it in a custom BDC model and have word pick that up (the save method), you may need to look at VSTO, and leveraging a new method of saving back into the external system from the client.
VSTO does have a method that supports intercepting the "save" commands.

I can help a little, I think. When you upload a doc to SharePoint, SharePoint injects that doc with a bunch of XML. You can tap into this XML with Word's content controls. The result: an interface in Word that lets you edit XML data, then if you upload to SharePoint, SharePoint can recognize and sync your data in its column headers. If you edit and then ...

It was easier than I thought.
Wiki articles are just .ASPX pages in a wiki doc lib; you can address them directly by URL.
The main article content is in a table with id="MSO_ContentTable". I discovered this by using IE8's F12 debugger and inspecting a wiki article's structure.
With this knowledge, it is fairly simple to craft a page that will load the ...
