    Will Microsoft Office 2003 work on Vista or am I going to have to buy Office 2007 if I want to use office on Vista?

    Office 2003 will work fine.

    I have used it on Beta 2 and RC1. Don't worry <>

    I think most software for XP will still work on Vista, although I'm not 100% sure.

    Most of the majors like Photoshop, Nero, Office have worked fine for me. I have run into some issues with some other smaller ones like AVG and SafetyNet. Hopefully those will get worked out soon because virus and firewall are important.
