MS OFFICE (EXCEL/WORD) for WINDOWS VISTA??

[TheWolf]

Anyway around the $150 it costs to buy this crap? Or where can I get a copy on the cheap? The guy in Best Buy told me the old Office Excel/Word will not run on the new Vista OS. Any truth to that?

Best bet to get Microsoft software cheap, is at a college or school, if you know of anyone attending. MS academic versions are much cheaper than you will get at Best Buy.

There are some minor issues but in general Office 2000 is the oldest version that is compatible and will work OK.
