| | Office XP Professional compatibility with Windows 7? Hi, I wrote last May asking about Office 2003 compatibility with Windows 7, and decided to install office 2003 after my Office 2007 trial version was up. Well, now it is up, only the install CD I have says "Microsoft Office XP Professional, version 2002." Not the same as MS Office 2003? So I'm wondering again, will this version be compatible with Windows 7? Also I was planning to remove Win 7 with "RipoutOffice2007". Thanks  |

| | Good points about support & patches. Does that mean that older versions of Office require SP2 & SP3 as XP did? Also, Is "RipoutOffice2007" a good way to remove MS Office? |

| | I use Office XP Professional. I've tried Open Office a few times, but always go back to Office XP. I find it easier to use and think that it just works better. I have a few friends and family that feel the same way when it comes to Office XP vs. Open Office. Ultimately it is up to you, but I thought I'd just give my opinion. The main thing to watch out for is that Open Office does not save files as MS Office files by default. It uses a different format, which can not be opened by MS Office. You can still save it as an MS Office file, but you have to click save as every time. |
