$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...

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.
