Microsoft Office on Vista

[fudgeflaps]

I have a new laptop which has Windows Vista as the OS- thing is, it didn't come with Microsoft Office, a program that I need to run all of my documents.

If I picked up a cheap copy of MSOffice 2000 or Office XP and run it, will Vista accept it?

Or is it another cynical ploy by Gates where I have to shell out another ?100 for Vista-compatible MSOffice '07?

TYIA.

Bloody hell Fudge *shakes head sadly* Have you not been listening to Jacques and others for the past year? What you go and give Bill Gates your money for that crap for?

Open office is crap ff, use a copy of office 2000 or 2003, they both work perfectly ok on Bisto. just make sure you have a serial number (key) etc and if it's a copy DONT register it if your asked to ever, your not required to.
