Why is Office 2003 not recommended for Windows ME?

[Hand]

So Office 2003 will not work with Windows ME?

Read the box - it says Windows XP - period.

Well actually it says Windows 2000 with SP3 or later, WindowsXP or later.
It will also install happily on a Windows 2003 Server.

Unless that server is also running Exchange 2003.

Mainly because Office 2003 was built with many of the security features
found only in NT 5. Windows ME is based on the Windows 9x kernel. A very
unsecure operating system for businesses, the primary focus for Office
System 2003.

Jerome,

Office 2003 Editions require Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows 2000
Service Pack 3 (SP3). Using these operating systems can enhance security and
reliability. Businesses can plan for software upgrades by reviewing
Microsoft product life-cycle policies
