Microsoft Office 2007 Upgrade

[meson2000]

Hey everyone,
I started reading a couple days ago that if you buy an upgrade version of Vista, you can't do a clean install anymore. You have to install XP first and then use the upgrade version of Vista to install it.

I wanted to know if this is now the same way for Office 2007? Do I have to install my old version of office first, then upgrade it to Office 2007? Or can I just do a fresh install of 2007 and just have it verify the install CD's of my older version?

Also, I have office 2000, does anyone happen to know if that qualifies me to use the Office 2007 Upgrade? Or is it too old and I have to buy the full version?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about that.

I was wondering the same thing until I stumbled across a free event where you get a free copy of office. Looks like new york is 2/20 so you may still have time to register.

The Office upgrades can be clean installed. I used Office 2000 discs for my 2007 installs at home.
