I also dont really like Vista (for now). Yes the grpahic eye candies are cool, but it eats alot of resources. Not for me. Id rather go for Ubuntu. [quote]Whenever you saved vista office file [let's say you created a document in MS Word Vista] you still have to save it as MS document for WindowsXp-2003 and so on...[/quote] If you like to have the '.doc' as the default extension for MS Word 2007, do this: - On your MSWord 07 window, click the Office button at the top left corner of the screen. - At the bottom-right corner of the Office button's window you should see abutton that says [b]Word Options[/b]. Click on that. - On the left corner of the Word Options window, click on the [b]Save[/b] tab. - On the [b]Save files in this format[/b] option, choose [b]Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)[/b]. That's it.
