Huh? You have software that is 6+ yrs old, well outdated and insecure, no
longer supported and its Microsoft's fault that it doesn't work on their
brand new operating system? There is a lot of software that doesn't work on
vista... and if a certain program is important to you, then you should not
upgrade.


Outdated? It is only a generation and a half old (isn't 2003 a minor
upgrade to Office XP?). It is MUCH better than the new, user unfriendly
2007. It works fine. Why should I be forced to replace a perfectly
adequate program just to put unnecessary money in Microsoft's pockets. I
would rather downgrade to WindowsXP, a much faster and adequate operating
system. You are right, there is a LOT of software that doesn't run under
Vista. That is why computers with XP instead of Vista are going for a
premium! People hate Vista because it will not run their perfectly
functional existing programs. Upgrading to Vista can easily cost $1,000 to
many users because of software incompatibility. Before I upgrade Office I
would rather downgrade to Vista!

Vista's Mail and Calendar programs are a nice replacement for Outlook. Try
them. You might like them a lot better.
