is shifting to vista worth it?for gaming?

[shantanu]

try to buy the office suite.. its available online or you can buy from any store.. in your city..

 

[gxsaurav]

so how will i get ms word and stuff ?

Microsoft office has many components & apps which u may or may not need. What do u need in MS office anyway?

If all you need is Word 2k7, Excel 2K7 & PowerPoint 2k7 then you can Office 2007 Student & teachers edition for Rs 4,000 in delhi which comes with the above mentioned components.

 

[Pathik]

^^ wat?? Office 2007!! or OpenOffice.org

 

[iMav]

office 2k7 from ms also has different versions ... business, student etc ...

 

[entrana]

so office 2k3 xp will work with vista? or there is other office for vista

@the_devil_himself : dont cheat in the poll man.. you posted with your another id (temporary) which you used to PM me.. (well last warning for using multiple id) the next time it will be misery,,

@entrana Before buying MS office@ hefty prices do check out it's free cousin OpenOffice,if it's good enough for you then you will save few thousand rupees.

And core 2 duo is so much better than P4 and P4 will surely bottleneck your 8800GT.

Even office XP will work in Vista. You can use both Office 2003 or Office 2007 in Vista.

Yup, this is adviced. OpenOffice is good enough for a single user enviroment. Make sure u distribute files in PDF format then.

And core 2 duo is so much better than P4 and P4 will surely bottleneck your 8800GT.

+10

i said im not sure man my dad keeps on telling me i can buy whatever i want buy im not sure if id be able to get core2duo, i want to though

 

[assasin]

use the money u were spending to buy office to buy a C2D.i'll see gr8 performance improvements over ur P4.

 

[iMav]

ya use the office cash for c2d ... office 2003 is good enough u can upgrade anytime

 

[alienspiesu]

[entrana]

dude comon u expect me to spend 10k for windows vista ultimate and like 7k for office, o please i can spend that money on better things, and just get the pirate vista and office

 

[iMav]

Windows Vista home premium = Rs 6,700

Office 2007 Students edition = Rs 4,000

You get everything u need. Like I said, u can also try OpenOffice to see if that works for u & leave Office 2007 compleately.

You can also buy OEM edition of Vista & Office which you can install only on one computer for even low price.
