*No* version of Vista comes with Word, Office, or any other
significant application software. That's not only true of Vista; no
previous version of Windows has ever come with any of these either.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows, came
with Word or Office, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled it
as part of the package he sold you, not because that version of
Windows came with it. Some, but not all, vendors do the same with
Windows Vista.
