Hi
I've just ordered a Dell PC with windows Vista Home premium.
I was planning to install Office XP professional on it as I have the disks etc. However I've just read that someone has installed office XP on a vista laptop which has caused it to run slowly.
Is this the case? Will I be better off buying a new version of Office? I'm a bit gutted as apparently the new version of office is different.

Office XP runs fine on my vista lappie...
In fact it came with a free 60 day Office XP trial...April Grocery Challenge £81/£1200 -
Don't you mean an Office 2007 trial?
Also, chika: don't bother with Office 2007 - it's all bells and whistles; most of them are pretty useless. Office XP will be fine with Vista

I'd say it'd run just fine on Vista
One thing to be careful of though - if your Office XP discs came with a previous computer (referred to as OEM) rather than a boxed product from the likes of PC World then it's against the terms of the licence agreement to install it on any other computer.

One thing to be aware of - our office has stupidly switched to Office 2007 Enterprise, now whenever we email attachments to HQ or to other branches, they can't open them without Office 2007 :rolleyes: So, guess what, a full upgrade will have to happen... more money for M$No - it's 2003, sorry - but runs fine with Vista...
