Having appreciated the discussions here that reminded me of the finer points
of the EULA for OEMS, for one desktop and laptop, etc. one solution for Mr.
Putzz is to install the free trial of Office 2007 onto his Vista and if he
likes onto his XP boot.
I have been using OL 2007 on several Vista builds for a good while and it
has worked very well and so have many others.
One caution: Remember with respect to your Outlook 2003 on XP that you will
need to uninstall Outlook 2003 selectively from Add/Remove (easy to do)
first if you expect Outlook 2007 to install because you cannot install two
Outlook versions concommitantly. You could install however, the other
applications of Office concomittantly and that's also an option for you.
I would suggest anyone who enjoys or uses Office install Office 2007 so that
you can acclimate yourself to new features that might be advantageous to
you. I also believe that people who are interested in a new OS, might be
interested in another new major piece of software from MSFT.
