Why else does Microsoft implement PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE? For some time now, I've had legal copies of Office '95 and '97. But they have become more and more constrained in their operation on Window XP. I doubt that they are even installable on Vista and I expect Windows 7 will cause the CD's to explode and burn. Your challenges are excellent. Thank you.
