I just got Vista with a 60 day free trial of Microsoft Office but I already have a full version of Microsoft Office for XP. Can I install the full XP version on the Vista instead of instaling the Vista version and then having to install a full version in 30 days?

You should be able to do that, as Vista is backward compatible, i.e. softwares built to run on Windows XP should also run on Vista (apart from hardware drivers)

I am getting the new Vista and have read many articles about it. Microsoft advises you that many of other products are not able to install but they insure you that all of their products lately distributed will be available to install on the new Windows Vista.

I'm about 99% sure that you can install it on vista. It would make sense because Vista is backwards compatible.

Absolutely. I have done it. It installs as a 32-bit app in Vista 64X and as a regular app in Vista 32X.
