No, Office 2003 is not compatible with Windows 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... Comments? |
