A technically-oriented representative at one of the nation's large 'box'
houses suggested that:

1. I stay w/XP-MCE, that Vista (Premium) still has a lot of problems
2. Vista is NOT compatible with Office 2002, that trying to get Office 2002
to work with Vista will be a serious challenge thus requiring an upgrade to
Office 2003 (minimally) or Office 2007.
3. Office 2007 is NOT compatible with XP-MCE (should reverting back to XP be
necessary)
4. Once upgrading to Vista is accomplished, that reverting back to XP-MCE
will require a total restore.

Comments from those experienced with these questions/problems will be
greatly appreciated.
