Has anyone installed Office 2003 on Windows 10?

Does it work ok?


It apparently works fine with the Windows 10 Technical Preview, but
you should be aware that Windows 10 doesn't exist yet; just the
Technical Preview. It probably isn't likely, but it *is* possible that
it works with the Technical Preview, but will not work when Windows 10
is released.


This is true. I guess we'll have to wait and see, just like I did with Win8.
Not saying you're wrong (you aren't very often that I've seen), but I heard
the same thing about Win8 and certain programs, and the ones I was worried


I'm certainly not claiming that it won't work. As I said, "it probably
isn't likely, but it *is* possible."

My point is mainly that you should not trust everything in Technical
Previews/Beta Versions to also be in and work as well in the released
version. Some things do unexpectedly change.

Like 8.1, Win10 which will be full version ware, Win10 is also likely to
only provide two options when moving from an older o/s - (1) keep
personal files (docs, photos, music, etc. in the user profile default
location) but not programs and settings or (2) keep nothing.

As many have learned in the past...o/s backward compatibility with MSFT
or 3rd party software is not a given.
