windows office: I am going to be a student in college this year and I just bought a laptop but it does not have any Windows Office. I looked up online for the newest one and saw it was window 2007 which cost $150 but windows 2003 cost $50. I wanted to know if I could still use windows 2003 for school or do I need 2007.|||New Graphic presentation. Basically it does the same thing with a nicer look|||Theres not a huge difference but the biggest one is that they are in different formats and if your college does not use 2007 you should get 2003, although in 2007 you do have the ability to save in 2003 format and still utilize some of the 2007's more professional features. but its all down to your budget if you can afford 2007 I recommend that but if you are like a bog standard student and cant afford it 2003 would be your best option, but remember that 2007 has a more professional feel and look to it (I personaly splashed out on 2007 as a student and love the effects it produces)|||I would get the windows 2003, things are easier to find and if your friend gives u a document and hes has 2007, you can still open it using this from microsoft, and all u have to do is download and install it. THATS NOT EVEN HARD! http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai鈥?/a> just install that, its not big, and u can read 2007 documents with 2003. Trust me, dont spend the extra 100 dollars for the same thing 2003 has to offer. 2003 and 2007 are the same things basically, but i prefer 2003... 2003 is cheap now...4 years ago i brought it for 200 dollars, and it hasnt failed me yet btw, nice car >_<|||2007 is more user friendly. If you get 2003 you'll need to download a free compatibility pack form Microsoft in order to view 2007 office files. If all you are planning on doing is basic word processing/spreadsheets then you can just go with 2003. Heck you could go with 2000 or 97 if you're not going to do anything too advanced.|||I think that this site will very well guide you the difference in between 2003/2007
