Re: Vista, install: do or don't + Office compatibility

Don't listen to those idiots at Best-Buy, Home-Depot, Bed, Bath, & Beyond,
etc....

Vista will work with Office 2002 and above but I think there are some issues
with saving passwords in Outlook 2002. Is there a compelling reason you
want to move to Vista right now? Does XP fill your needs? Office 2007
works with XP-MCE, I haven't noticed any problems.
