VISTA working with OFFICE 2003,2007 both or which?
 

$100 is expensive to me so bear with me a moment. I need an upgrade
from OFFICE 97. I have it working on VISTA 64-bit which I'm told is
amazing but I want to upgrade to a more modern version of Office.

What is the OLDEST version of a more modern version of Office that is
known to work well with Vista?

Obviously I'm excluding my 97 version from the oldest choices.


thanks...

VISTA working with OFFICE 2003,2007 both or which?
 

Hi,

I have 3 machines running multiple versions of Office under VISTA 32 bit,
they all work just fine. I am running Office 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007 all
at the same time under Vista.

I think your main considerations should be:
1. Are you ready for the 2007 interface?
2. Do you work with lots of other people that are using one version or the
other - ease of file exchange and compatibility might be an issue.

My philosopy is to go with 2007 because I doubt Microsoft will go back to
the old interface and its only forward from here. I realize that Office 2003
runs faster but the difference wouldn't stop me, since Vista runs slower than
XP.
