    Just a quick question.
    I am going to purchase a new laptop in the next few days rom dell and i am wondering if i should get Vista or XP. I currently have a copy of Office which i got from a friend My question is will this copy work with Vista as i don't really want to spend 150 on Office.
    I also heard that other software that may not be 100% legit will not work with Vista. Is this true???

    Don't forget you can't put a copy of office on the machine.

    If your friend gave you the original copy that's fine, unless it's an oem which can't be moved to a different machine.
