Not at all, Its designed for Vista but also has backwards compatibility, and is even better with Service Pack 1.

IMHO Open Office is a sweet, suite alternative to MS Office; it'll handle the microsoft file formats, it's only a little over 100MB download and it's free.

And its free too. But MS Office has a lot of features that are not present in Open Office.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

You get what you pay for, free is good but id rather shell out for quality and rich features.

I think I really want to give Office 2007 a try. Just to try something new. This is coming from someone who is still enjoying Office XP Pro on my desktop, and still love it!! Wish I could use it on Vista. Is there anything that I can maybe leave out during the installation of Office 2007 that may prevent it from using much of the memory?

You can try Microsoft Office 2007 for free [ Here ] Its virtual, so you don't need to download anything.

You can use it for block's of 90 mins. Will help you get to know it and see if you like it.
