windows office: i going to buy a new computer with Windows Vista, but the new windows office is expensive, ao im asking will Windows XP Office work on Vista OS...|||http://forumz.tomshardware.com/software/鈥?/a> list of hardware AND some software that is vista compatible. I believe all versions of office AFTER 2003 are vista compatible, I just can't find the other list.|||XP Office is essentially just a version number - it doesn't mean it's made for XP particularly. So it -should- work, just as Office 95 will work on Windows 98. That being said, Vista has lots of compatibility problems, so it may not just cause it's buggy.|||noooooooo|||Don't buy that computer!!!!!!! Vista is still relatively new and there are alot of bugs that still need to be worked out. The new upgrades to Office really don't warrant buying it, not yet. XP is just fine. Don't create more problems for yourself. Vista looks good and has some nice new features but the internal workings aren't 100%.
