I just got a new laptop with Vista pre-installed. Now I want to give Vista a
decent "test drive" before I decide on which OS to go with: either XP or
Vista but...

I use Outlook 2003 for my e-mail and I'd like to keep on using it for now
(as I can't afford the upgrade to 2007 yet - I just bought a new laptop you
know). Is Outlook 2003 stable in Vista and what steps do I need to take to
transfer my existing Outlook 2003 information (mail, calendar, contacts,
etc.) to the new laptop?

Any help to let me know if Outlook 2003 will work okay in Vista (as well as
help for transferring) will be greatly appreciated.

Same question for Outlook 2000

Aside from reading the EULA and noting that on how many PC's you can install Office on ,read the following

Outlook versions prior to 2003 do not work well in Vista:
