I'm curious as to how it applies to office 97.

If the program works for the user, on the users equipment, it's age doesn't
matter. Neither does official support - every known problem should be in
Google by now and assistance for the few that aren't (or can't be found) can
be found in forums such as this - no need to bother with Microsoft - they'll
probably get it wrong anyway.

Availability of support from MS is low on my list of reasons to upgrade from
older products - actually, it's not even on my list of reasons to upgrade.

10 years in the computer world is the equivalent of at least 100 years in
the non-computer world.

Where do you get these statistics? Just curious. It's quite a claim - ten
years equals a hundred years.

Not that I'm supporting the OP's silly diatribe, mind you.
