(you here is a plural you...not pointed at you Terry) Depending on your system, you probably won't have to replace much. Besides, do you really want MS to design new versions of their OS within the limitations of a 486? There are some interface changes, just like we had changes in each version of Windows (or any other graphical OS for that matter). If you have a system that was purchased in the last coupleof years, you probably won't have to change anything. My system, I had to replace my video card and add memory. If I would have had the original card I had in my system, I wouldn't have had to upgrade. When my original card died last year, I replaced it with a lesser card as that was all I could afford at the time. I replaced my video card with $150 ATI Radeon X1650 and added 1.5 gig to my system. The process or is an athalon XP 2200. Everything runs just fine (and very fast too). If you run this on a system that is 4 or 5 years old, then yes, you are going to have problems. Upgrading your system is part of it. Unless you are against progress...
Terry...what problems did you have with 2007? I have sent a few docs to work from my home machine using Office 2007 with no problems. We have 2003 at work. I do know that there are occasionally backwards compatability issues when they change the underlying engine. I remember that happened between Office 97 and 2000 with Access.

She had just gotten her laptop before our trip with Vista and Office 2007. After using help, etc. and 20 minutes I will never get back, trying to save it as an Office 2003 compat file I put her on my xp laptop and was done in a minute or two. After reading about Vista it seems like forever, this seems like when we went from dos to windows. If you put it on an existing machine it will probably crawl I have read. And it looks at first glance they have totally changed the look/feel so a lot of people who aren't techies will be basically starting over, and buying new hardware as well too. Then there's our 3d party software we are just realising to our dealers nationwide that gets installed on laptops for in home sales. They just informed me it will not run on Vista yet......That's the reason we were at the dealer convention to launch their new software. They are blaming it on 3d party tools they license to write their .net software package. I have already had 20 calls from dealers stating Dell does not sell anything but Vista. Oh well I gues it could be worse. I think MS will either make a major killing here or a lot more Macs and Linux boxes will come into Corporate America.
