I'm not quite sure where to post this but there are so many informative people here so thought I'd ask here on the NJ Board.

Does anyone know if Microsoft Office 2000 will work on a new computer with a Vista operating system? The disk says that it's compatible with Windows NT and Windows 98. Obviously, it would not state that it's compatible with Vista because Vista was not yet available when the disk was produced.

Will it work? Will it completey kill my computer?

I know on XP you could emulate the older operating systems, I had to do that with a lot of the kid's games, there was an option to make them run like Windows 98 when you installed it. I would imagine Vista has a similar feature although I haven't really messed with it yet.

I seriously doubt that vista would play very nicely with Office 2000...

Vista has some issues with Office 2000, but is good with Office 2003. Ideally for compatibility reasons Office 2007 is the way to go, but Office 2007 is a piece of sht.

Pick your poison.
