especially concered about the address book in Outlook from what I've read.

Outlook doesnt have an address book, it has a Contacts list, which in
certain instances can be displayed as an address book.The Contacts list is
contained within the outlook.pst data file
The 2002 problem in Vista is that the account password is not retained.
There will not be any MS fix as 2002 is out of support

Don't buy Vista if you want to save money. Otherwise, buy Office 03 or 07.

Vista came preloaded on my (Dell) system. Very little choice about this.
OK, 03 or 07 it is. Tks.

Chances are you will experience some problems, esp. with outlook, but
try installing it outside of the Program files folder, that fixed alot
of problems I was first having when I installed it. Post back and let
us know how it works out.

Pete, I Would Go With 2007 If I Were You, Because My Mom Had Some Trouble
Running Excel 2003 Spread Sheets With Custom Macro's Created From Her Work
Place On Her Home Computer While 64 Bit Windows Vista Ultimate Edition Was
Installed On It, Just FYI. They (My Parent's) Have Since Returned 2 64 Bit
Windows XP x64 Edition Service Pack 2, And Have Had No Further Problem's
With Her 2003 Excel Spread Sheets From Work, Just FYI. By The Way, Just In
Case Any Body Is Wondering Why Both My Parent's And I Use The X64 Editions
Of Windows, We Both Have Computer's With 4 Giga Bytes Of Ram, Just FYI. If
You Have A Computer With More Than 2 Giga Bytes Of Ram, X64 Is The Way To Go
If You Have Either An AMD64 Processor Or An EM64T Processor, Just FYI.
