Not true. I have it loaded on Vista Home Premium 64 and it is just fine.

Office 2003 install gave me an Error 1719 "Cannot access mapisvc.inf" or some such thing.

Taking ownership and giving administrators full control of that file solved the issue.

Other than that, the installation when just fine.

The salesman is either a moron, or trying to get him to by 2007.
