Heard both are good. Vista Well take about a year for softwares and things to be comptiable with it. Just like how windows Xp was when it 1st came out. I dont recommand buying vista as soon as it comes out. Wait at lest 6 months untill they get rid of the bugs and it's more comptiable to softwares. it will take at lest 1-2yrs for softwares to be comptiable. As for Office 07 that should be fine. But it might only work on Vista... But i'm a Mac User. so I'll Wait for Leopard OS X to be released! =P

Yes it should be plenty to run most of the Microsoft Office applications.  I wouldn't try any of the latest games.

MS Office 2k7 has been finalized and is now available for businesses (maybe home users too?).  It makes sense that the beta is no longer available for download because the testing is complete.

I have Microsoft Office X for my Mac, and with it came a Visual Basic program.  I don't know anything about it.  Take a look at Mactopia http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ , you might find something there.

Everyone that uses a Microsoft product is a Beta Tester.\n\nSeriously though, click the link below on the MS support site and it will walk you through signing up.

Look into OpenOffice.  I hear it is as good if not better then MSOffice and is 100% compatible and the price is right- free!

I tried the Vista Beta on a gForce FX5500 with 256MB of RAM. I would not go any lower than this, and even then you will probably have problems with anything but simple games.\n\nNewegg.com, tigerdirect.com, etc. etc.

Beta's better...   :-)\n\nI have the Beta installed, and it seems to be just fine...  no problems so far in a couple of weeks of use.

MS has made them time limited, and they will expire after a set period of time. Personally, I found the Beta to be nothing but trouble. I wouldn't even try at this point if you haven't yet. It's buggy as hell. No wonder they have missed several launch dates and changed the name from Longhorn to Vista. Wait until they get it right (if they ever do). You'll sleep better.

I recommend Scribus as a free alternative to MS  Publisher but if you only want more simple functions then open office. I use Scribus at school and think its very good. However, it was running on Linux OS and ive never tried the windows version. Wouldn't have thought there would be any difference though.

If i am not mistaken, Office 2007 suite is still under beta and cannot be purchased. this product is still being finalized so you can't buy it yet. You might be able to download the beta and test it out, but be carefull because it is a 'beta' - ie, a test release and not a full production/'bug free' software..

Don't think you can do it, the only program that might be bale to do it is openoffice, haven't tried it though even though I have ms office 2007 pro and openoffice

beta version are experimental version, still under researching process. We perform the task of monkey's for them. \nBetter un-install & re-install good old IE 6.0 & let other do the experiments.

I know Crossover Office will run MS Office as late as 2003, but I find the OpenOffice.org suite to be much better.

you can download the vista beta from microsoft's website.  this requires a FAT net connection, and a DVD burner.  all the instructions you need are at the microsoft website.
