Hello, I have had several clients enquiring whether or not their old Office XP will work with Windows 7. Does anyone have an answer for this or tested it?
I don't currently have access to Office XP to test this myself.

Though I have not personally tried it but I can say for certain that Office 2003 works on 7 on both the RTM and the Trial Version that M$ currently has available for a 90 Day Trial Download. ;)

Of course they would need Retail Versions or Volume Licenses of this Software to use it on a computer with 7 Loaded as the EOM Versions are tied to the original Hardware and are not Transferable to new computers.

Thanks for the info, i'll let my clients know and leave it up to them to make the decision.

Sounds good to me. By the sounds of things M$'s claims of better compatibility are actually right for once

this is the cutoff point though. I was able to create a Database, open a Word document, open an Excel Spreadheet, open Front Page and watch a Power Point presentation. You might do better with the recommended updates.

Good Luck

Although I was concerned about Office XP as stated in the title of this question as opposed to Office 2003.
