I just bought a laptop w/ Vista on it and found out that MS Office
apps don't come with it. I use XL 2003 extensively as a power user
and do a lot of VBA coding as well. For those who have played with XL
2007, I haven't heard many good things about it. Is it worth buying?
If not, can I "port" my 2003 version somehow if I got that with my old
laptop or do I have to buy that?

If you have the installation CDs for Excel 2003 try it. If you don't then
you have to buy it or 2007. The knocks on 2007 are the new interface and
performance (which varies from 'way slower' to abysmal). The interface to
not going away so you might as well learn it if you don't mind being reduced
to a beginner for a few weeks.
