Office 2003 on Vista 64-bit

J

When Windows Vista finally comes out, I hear it will ship with both the
32-bit and 64-bit versions on the same DVD. I plan to install the 64-bit
version, but will Office 2003 be able to run on it? Will there be a
different cost to get the license for installing the 64-bit version of Vista,
or will it just me my choice on the install screen?

Hi Jorny,

There isn't presently a version of Office designed specifically for the 64bit version of Windows. This KB article talks a bit to
the limitations fo Office 2003 and 64-bit operating systems.
