I need to install Microsoft Office on my cousin's laptop (Windows XP)..

which is better...2003 (RM 580) or 2007 (RM 680)..

i got these prices on lelong.com.my

his laptop's spec:
Twinmate NC-8x
AMD Geode LX 800, 500MHz
8" 800x480 resolution LCD
Memory 1G
Storage 60GB HDD

if i buy either one (my cousin's money la)..can i copy or make iso then use daemon tool to thumdrive/external hdd cause this laptop don't have cd-drive ?

and then i install it to my comp ..that means 2 user..is it possible?

TQ

With that tiny resolution, I'd say go for 2003. But wait, 2007 can hide the ribbon menu. Wha-

with that PC spec, Office 2003 is recommended. Scrolling the screen would be a painful task though, coz both Office versions are targetted for at least a SVGA resolution (800x600).

maybe i can buy ms office 03 from my u, it costs only RM4? so cheap? 580-4=576

Why such a big gap in price?

ever since i start using office 2007, i'll nvr revert bck 2 2003.
2007 ribbon is really handy.
also, i love the interface & GUI.

Due to your low power CPU, Office 2003 is a better choice.

ms offc 07 ribbon menu?

what's that ?

Something like this.

It would take longer to load Office 07 given the specs of the laptop, but trust me, people like Office 03 because they are used to it. I used to be like one of them, but i'll never want to revert to Office 03 after i've seriously tried 07.

once you get used to it, it’s actually a good user experience

you should read about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/pages/table-of-contents.aspx

u're so honest...................

but u're right.......

Go for Office 2003.....
Your processor speed is not suitable for office 07's operation...
n your monitor reso, like wht they said, not suitable for ribbon menu...

As for me....i m lovin office 07!

office 07 is better, more user friendly. I will never switch back to Office 03 anymore

get

Home & Student Office 2007 ( RM199 ) it's retail version means it's 3 users for 1 license.

and it has

Microsoft Word 2007
Microsoft Excel 2007
Microsoft Powerpoint 2007
Microsoft OneNote 2007

i think this is a great deal... way better than urs...

2007 can't support.if u install 2007,ur office will be very slow performance.office 2003 is suitable for u..

there's other alternatives to download it but i can't post it here.

refer system requirement>>http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products...1668651033.aspx

I find Office 2007's ribbon menu is a bit annoying as I'm used to the old office shortcuts (I've been using Office since uh let me guess...back in the golden' era of 95). I guess it takes a little bit of using it

It depends , if your friend is soo used to the old office , stick with the old one. Thats my recommendation

or u wanna save money then

use OPEN OFFICE... ( it's something like microsoft office concept but it's FOC )

i think i'll choose ms office 03...

ok last question..

should i buy ms office from lelong.com.my (RM580) or my U (RM4)?..

money is not a problem to my cousin but i think maybe he likes cheaper (everybody does)...

so what the different?

i'll suggest you go for the 03 version. i'm currently using MS Office 07 with vista x64, everything is smooth but hate the new tab arrangement...

If money is not a problem, get a more decent laptop that comes with MS Office 2007(I think most laptops now comes with it if you choose pre-installed Windows, or maybe they will give some really good discount), easiest and best solution!

he already have a good laptop..
and that tiny laptop is a gift..
he ask me to install ms office on it..
i think ori ms office (he use ciplak ms office on his first laptop ) is better for him coz he got money..
