Word 2002 Compatible with Windows Vista?

[Guest]

I'm planning on buying a new notebook that will have Windows Vista Home
Premium. I already have Word 2002 and the disc that it came on. If I buy
the notebook and load Word 2002 on it, will Windows Vista be able to run Word
2002 without any problems?

According to Walt Mossberg's column in The Wall Street Journal, you should
have no trouble. Bear in mind that Vista is an operating system, while Word
is an application. Mossberg said you would have trouble running Word
(Office) 2007 on the XP operating system, but old versions of Word will work
fine on Vista. You will need the Office CD to install on the new computer.
