    Question Office 2007

    I have been reading that Office 2007 will not be backward compatible. Is there any discussion how to alleviate this problem with thoses workstations using Office XP(2002), or even Office 2000(or 97)???!!!! Many thanks!

    We were just discussing this today. This really sucks, because some of our satellite sites use older machine that won't handle 2007 real well, and that means we need to make a trip out to each one to do individual installs of this compatability pack.............
