I was wondering because my word and excel documents are down and i don't have the disc and im not sure if they actually still sell office 2003 in stores. I need a replacement ASAP and im afraid im gonna have to spend 400 dollars for Vista and Office and have to spend 5 hours installing them. Any help?!?!

Office 2007 is VERY different to use. If you need to crank out a doc right awaythere is a huge ramp up time, but after a while, you'll like the new interface. One way to get used to it is to download the free trial, then buy if you like and try something else if not. If you need to use something right away fro cheap, you might consider google docs or open office for free or star office for cheap. All will save to and open standard doc and xls formats (but not the new xml formats of 2007).
Office 2003 can still be found in alot of ma and pa shops and it can be found as an OEM on the internet. Be careful if you buy from the internet that you do NOT get an OEM copy (NO Tech support) and that it is a LEGAL copy.

No, you don't have to buy Vista, yet. All versions of Office 2007 will work on XP service pack 2 or newer operating systems.
You actually could still find Office 2003 out there, but you'd have to search the internet more. Most stores wouldn't be selling them.

No not at all, Office 2007 will run on Windows XP, but make sure you have service pack 2. Hope this helps, Office 2007 runs really well too, I have a copy of it, good office suite.

i like vista a lot, and it is very good. but just like xp, nobody liked it when it came out, but now its the base for comps and thats whats happening to vista. and xp had issues with stuff too if people dont recall. and actually its not microsoft, its the company to the product your usings fault by not releasing up to date drivers...... sry, the answer to ur question is, absolutely not, it def works with xp. u can even download a 60 trial at microsoft. its really cool.
