Still living with office 97
You?re not running Vista I presume! With each OS update along come forced Office updates. Features in 97 will not work in Vista, and for that matter neither do many features in Office 2000 or XP. Although most but not all features in Office 2003 work fine for now until Vista SP2 then you can bet allot more will fall by the wayside so users will be forced to get Office 2007 (Microsoft mail programs is really messing with Outlook, and under Windows Vista all hotmail accounts are blocked thanks to MS Mail, under XP at least older accounts could be used in Outlook 2003 but with VISTA and MS MAIL its all blocked) Microsoft if forcing end users to update and upgrade software hardware as they see fit to increase the bottom line.
