If you update to sp3, they are still giving critical updates until 8 April 2014. As to Office 2000 not officially supported on Windows 7. That is because all support from Microsoft, for Office 2000 ended in 2009. It is not because it won't install. As nomad has pointed out there may be a issue with Outlook. That is easy fixed by using a different email client. A bigger issue would be is your old computer up to running Windows 7 at a acceptable speed. |

| 1115469 | 2010-07-04 23:12:00 | Back in my early days one of my regret was upgrading windows unnecessarily. If it works, don't worry about it, WinXP (I have wink2 on one of mine), it does everything, win, office, dvd, the net, what else could you ask. Ok, not as pretty as win7. The chatting s/w are available. WinXP is also v reliable IMO, one reason my most memorable is win2k the first win OS IMO that was reliable. |

| 1115470 | 2010-07-04 23:21:00 | Oh dear. Now I'm frightened..... Can't afford both "7" & a new "Office Suite" Guess that I'll just 'clunk on' with "XP" Ah well, at least I'm fairly familiar with it. Pity that it's only "Home" though. I believe that they're supporting "Pro" for just a wee bit longer !! Thank you. And. Regards to all. Bryan. I have recently updated to Office 2010 and have unused 2003 (maybe even 2007) Office keys. PM me if you want one. Could send the software also if necessary if you do not have broadband or a large data cap, no issue. |

| 1115471 | 2010-07-05 14:20:00 | Thanks for the offer "DeSade" Think I'll stick with what I've got. May jump to XP Pro. But, that's about it. Don't really NEED 7 anyway. Am only a casual user. Like about twice a day...... Every day !! :punk | DUNK (1527) | ||
| 1115472 | 2010-07-05 20:26:00 | Its open, PM me if you change your mind. |

| 1115473 | 2010-07-05 22:44:00 | We bought a new PC with 7 and Office 2007. The operating system seems ok but the new version of Office has probably copped more swear words than anything else on the PC for quite some time. My wife gets so PO'd she goes and boots up her laptop to use Office 2003. Never again - Personally I think they've lost the plot and we'll look to move to Open Office. Already on Thunderbird. |

| 1115474 | 2010-07-05 22:50:00 | Office 2010 with full ribbon implementation is great, the best Office ever in my opinion. 2007 was a hybrid of the old and new, it was ok but nothing on 2010. |

| 1115475 | 2010-07-05 22:59:00 | We just found it completely unintuitive - basic functions seemed to have disappeared or been moved somewhere else, automatic functions give you everything except what you want. All over the top when you're just trying to put a basic document together. Strikes me Word could do with 3 options on start up: Basic user, intermediate user and Word Geek. (I'd choose 1, my wife 2 and we're not interested in 3) |

| 1115476 | 2010-07-05 23:12:00 | I did a IT course so word was okay, before I was PO about it. It's the ribbons. Sometimes the location is not intuitive after you learnt 2007. I think 2007 is easier for those who never used Office to a high level, more mouse clicking, choose the right ribbon before you click the func you want. For high level users you may need to spend a week or two on it full on before you learn it ... Page Setup or Paragraphs you needa press this little arrow at the corner of a group under a ribbon for eg. Secure, print, print preview you needa use the office icon and go thru the menu. Same for properties. I just use 2007 and soon 2010 before it's the newest. MS call the shots and I just go with the flow I guess. I had to customise the launch bar - that top left thing, it doesn't even have open and save icons by default I think. The office icon and like word options or excel options is also brand new. Print Preview or Properties requires more clicks by going thru the Office icon. With Windows 7 - by default the menu does not show up unless you change it or press the ALT key. By default Windows 7 to me appears to be used without menus for most jobs so it is more a typical general user, you just run your software, do the email or net or chat and then logoff. One thing for sure Win7 does look more beautiful, it's debatable if Office does. Some may say the ribbons look beautiful too than some boring "workplace" menus. |
