Hello all.. I am a new user of Windows Vista (came installed on my new laptop). Which Microsoft Office Suite is the best version to run with Vista. I want to install one that does not hog all my resources and take up too much space. Also, when you install a Office Suite, do you have to install all the components of the suite? For install, if I wanted to install everything excluding Microsoft Access. Can I exclude that particular component before installing or would I have to fully install and then go to the control panel and remove that component? Any help on these questions would be appreciated. Thanks..
