Maybe it works with the 32-bit Win7, but as far as I know nobody says it works
with Win7 at all. It's not supported under Win 7.

I am running a new clean install of 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I just
installed Office 203 Small Business and none of the updates will run. Error
message is really helpful: "The update could not be installed." Tried Service
Packs 1, 2 and 3, and a small security update - none work.
Second issue: it demands that you accept the EULA every time.
Third issue: it won't shut down properly. A blank Word page is open now,
because I have to shut down the computer to get it to go away. The X will not
respond.
Yes, I've tried right-clicking and clicking "Run as Administrator." No effect.
Conclusion: No matter how many times Microsoft claims that Office 2003 is
compatible with Windows 7, it actually isn't. If I have to jump through hoops
to get it to work, it's not compatible - and if it still won't work AFTER I
jump through hoops, it's really not compatible.
By contrast, I downloaded OpenOffice from the web and everything works fine,
first time. Naturally, I'll use the latter and forget the former...
