I think you will find that it depends on how each browser is set up. Users are given the option of how they want to handle non-web files such as Word, Excel, etc. These options generally are: Open, Save, Always Prompt. Each browser and version is normally a little different in their implementation.
In short though you will always run in to problems and the best solution I would offer is to provide some help text explaining how to always have it open.
