how to reinstall windows with product key I paid for I haven't checked every bitty utility, but all the major components do. I can't speak for Win8, but the full Office XP (2002) works on Win7 Pro 圆4. When you are no longer allowed to activate your "modern" office in a few years because you ran out of activations or because M$ no longer wants to support your software, you'll be SOL (or out of yet more money) while I'll probably still be running Office XP on my old-arse PC or virtual machine! By comparison, you're basically renting your Office 2007/2010/2013 as well as most "modern" software. Oh, also, I paid for my copies of 20 and own use of them for life.

So, for future reference, please don't give people a hard time for using an old version. But, even worse, you now have to learn to steer the bicycle with your feet and work the pedals with your hands.

Seriously, productivity-wise, going from Office 2000/2002/2003 to a newer version, with that awful ribbon interface (and other issues) is like going from a Ferrari to a bicycle. What's with all the attitude towards people wanting to use an old version of Office? I'm a POWER user, and I wouldn't touch anything newer than Office 2003 with a 10 foot pole.
