Does anyone know for sure if you can run Office 2003 Small Business Edition on a Vista box? Microsoft has this listed under requirements: "Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later, or Microsoft Windows XP or later operating system"

What exactly is later than Windows XP if not Vista?  uglystupid2

Thanks a bunch, Coknuck! I guess I just have to have things spelled out for me and they don't just come right out and say it will work on Vista because the software came out before Vista did.

Roco, I only had Me on a machine for a short period of time, but I don't think there's any software that really works with it.  evil6

I've even read forums where people have used Office 2000 with no problems except Microsoft Outlook. So my answer is do a Custom install and don't use Microsoft Outlook. wink
