Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition was compatible, you were correct. Whoever said that Vista would not be able to receive updates for Office 2003, you were wrong. I just installed Microsoft Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition on Windows Vista Home Premium and it received the updates and installed just fine. I wish i could get a free upgrade to office 2007 :-D.
 
Some of the older apps will run just as they did in XP. Others will need a newer version. That's the way it's been with any new version of Windows. Granted XP has shown the best backward capability of any so far. The software for the XP MCE edition tv tuner card here refuses to install let alone run even with the Vista driver installed. How many 95 downloads that were tossed after saving them to floppy when going with 98SE? scores of them!
 
Do you think some Windows 98SE games would work on Vista? I have some old racing games like a motorcycle game and stuff and a bunch of others. XP couldnt run them...
 
Well i have MotoRacer 2 for Windows 98SE and a Grand Prix Legends for 98SE also, which i couldnt run on Windows XP home, i was just wondering if i could run those on Vista Premium. The compatability Wizard in XP wouldnt allow me to run them, and there were also some games my brother got at a tag sale for 98.
 
Well the good part about vista is when i popped in my 2006 norton internet security cd to put it on this comp it made me upgrade to 2007 which switched the serial number which also switched the product id code and in turn i got 456 days free of norton 2007 internet security lol.

Take a look at the screen shot here of running the original 8bit dos game known as Duke Nukem. The problem isn't so much with games as it is with softwares used for various other reasons like tv tuners, video capturiing, security as you saw with the automatic update to what? a newer version! But some of this is to be expected with "any" newer version of Windows. Unlike the old bit DN the 16bit Duke3D that ran on 95 and 98 didn't see XP.
