Re: Which Microsoft Office Suite version is the best to run on Vista??
And Office 2007 doesn't use as much memory as you think.
We have given you loads of advice, have a read through the things we posted for you. All versions work with Windows XP and Windows Vista. You won't have any memory problems unless your PC had only 128mb of ram.
Re: Which Microsoft Office Suite version is the best to run on Vista??
I based my comments on versions that are being sold at present. It would have been nice to know you already had Office XP.
Office XP, Office 2000 and even Office 97 run on Vista. I installed them during Vista beta testing before installing the Office 2007 beta. Compatibility Packs (to use new file formats) are available for Office XP and 2000.
Quit worrying about Office 2007 memory usage. It is not a concern.
Re: Which Microsoft Office Suite version is the best to run on Vista??
Actually from Office 4.3 through Office 2007 and Various versions of Word and Excel prior to Office 4.3. Several were obtained through MS programs for resellers/system builders on a subscription basis. I'm still using XP and Office 2003 for business purposes. I "play" with Vista and Office 2007 on my shop PC.
I repair and custom build PCs so have to keep up with new OSes. Small business (me only) in a small town.

openoffice, go to openoffice.org and download. cheap, reliable, and resource friendly, or virtually any other Microsoft office 97 or above, and you can run a custom installation and uncheck MS access if you don't want it.

Microsoft Office 2007 is Vista's best match. Case closed. I use it and it doesn't eat my resources (maybe you're confused by VISTA eating your resources people)--don't let the ribbon and prettiness fool you. There are some enhancements that make work a whole lot easier.
If you're buying a brand new MS Office suite, I really don't see any reson to get 2003 and not 2007. That's like drinking rotten milk on a farm. Don't listen to the fanboys.
As for OpenOffice. I have used OpenOffice.org, and currently have the Novell brew on my system (I feel the need to try just about everything). While OO does it's job, it doesn't quite hold a lamp next to MS Office 07 (maybe 03, who knows?)--and the thing is, I like OO!
Once you get your mind around Ms Office 07 + Vista, I'm telling you you'll have a difficult time using anything else on your Vista machine.

i agree, if you want to buy one, be smart and buy MS office 07. As scru said, it is vista's best match.
