2007 Office Small Business for Windows 7

[BigDaddyD]

Will this work? If not, what office will work with Windows 7 64bit?

Of course it works. Office 2007 is the latest retail version of Office and Windows 7 is the latest retail version of Windows. Why would you think it wouldn't work?

"Note The 2007 Microsoft Office system programs client is a 32-bit application and can run on a Windows 64-bit platform (Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista) but there may be some feature limitations as noted in the system requirements below."

I know it "works, " but I am more concerned with the limitations, and was wondering if there was something newer. I did come searches and heard that there are some incompatibility issues, especially with outlook. BTW, the above quote comes from microsoft's website.

This is Microsoft's page that states Windows 7 64-bit and Office 2007 Small Business are compatible:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/co...ness & Home Office&sc=Office Suites&os=64-bit

If you want something newer, there's the Office 2010 Beta:

Nope, I figured it was going to work, since when I even microsoft's page doesn't even have anything newer, non beta...but I wanted to make sure. I had to spec out a machine and software for someone that will be using Windows 7 and haven't used it. The research I did, showed incompatibilities...so I just wanted to know what anyone here had to say.

The limitations are listed right there.

Except when I did some other research, I found many instances where people had other issues, such as outlook not working and whatnot. That is what prompted me to post this thread. I need outlook to work. I don't care about the minor limitations the Microsoft lists. I care about the ones that I came across from researching. If you are currently using it and have Excel, Word, and Outlook working with zero problems...then I will be happy.

I am using it with Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint with 0 issues.
