I'm a current MS Office 2003 user and am buying a new computer with the
Windows Vista Operating system on it. I'd like to know if I must upgrade the
MS Office package or if I can keep the MS Office 2003 version?

This is asked at least several times a day - the answer is you can keep it.

Thanks much!

Provided it is a Retail copy of Office 2003 and not OEM. OEM copies are
only licensed for the original computer they cam with or were installed on.

Hi! this is not entirely true, I have an original Office 2003 and is not
compatible with Ms Windows Vista, I have problems with it.

People have problems with Office 2003 on Windows XP too, but again that
is not a "compatibility" issue.
