It will work However its no longer a supported product. Once SP2 is on your
system getting office 97 off the system can be very tedious. but in you have no plans in teh near fture to geta new version have at it. -- "Bother," said Pooh as he struggled with the computer.

It'll work fine IF you can get it to install! Since your new computer will probably come with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) you'll have to read previous posts here to find workarounds that will allow you to install and update Office 97. BTW, I *still* prefer Office 97 to later versions and I have NO idea why except maybe I'm more used to it? Anyway, I agree with you, if you can use Office 97 you don't have to spend the money to upgrade. One other thing I'll mention.... if you get frustrated trying to install Office 97 you might want to take a look at www.openoffice.org, it's compatible with a very large percent of MS Office apps and it's certainly within your price range! -- David R.
