Re: Windows Vista/Office 2007
what is the best version of office 2007? do u have to have matching office to vista progs? ie: vista enterprise/office enterprise? or can u have something like vista ultimate/office enterprise? are there differences between said names? office enterprise and office ultimate are the same somehow?
edit: i remember prob like 6 months ago i had a copy of office 07, but i never installed it. just didn't. anyway, gave that copy to a friend and he did install it. he said he liked it, but after like a month or something it stopped working. i believe he even uninstalled it and tried office xp or 2003 again and those didn't work either. either way, office 2007 just quit working. does this still happen? is there a work around to this? why did that happen? same as the 30 day trial of vista thing?

Does it bother anyone else that Peerzy is willing to steal a key from a copy in a store he works in?
What bothers me most about that is that some unsuspecting person who buys it will most likely end up with problems activating their paid for Vista. :angry:
Will they have probs?
Like if you know somebody else that has XP, and you use their key, won't both of you work just fine if it is a legit key?

Yes they'll have problems.
The activation system identifies the specific machine and the licence agreement limits the use to that one machine.
Same with XP.

Indeed, I did realise after a while that taking the key would stop someone from using a copied they have paid for, another reason why I didn't take the key in the end. So instead I downloaded Timerstop.exe which you run when you've installed Vista to stop the timer ever hitting 0 days and deactivating my copy.
Either way it all went tits up.
Went to install, formatted and selected the partition, it copied files then got to the part where it said Expanding(Might have been Unpacking, can't remember) Files and just got stuck on 0% there and nothing happened. With the DVD in one of my drives it popped up with an error after a few minutes but in my other drive it just stayed on that screen forever.
This means I've had to reinstall XP just to get access back to the internet. The ISO i downloaded works for other people, which is worrying as the ISO extracted from the RAR files perfectly. This means unless Nero burnt it wrong (how often does this really happen? Hardly ever) then there is something wrong with either both of my drives, my type of DVD media or the HDD.
