Will Office XP Pro run in Vista Ultimate?

I have Vista Ultimate on my desk top. I hate to buy a new version of Office
now. Will my trusty Office XP Pro run ok in Vista? thanks...so far I have
been impressed with the speed and features of Vista. I had heard a lot of bad
talk. I am glad I tried it!

Yes, but be sure to apply all the service packs and updates.

Outlook will not retain your passwords for your email accounts.
You will to reenter them each time you start Outlook. The only
workaround is to keep outlook open for as long as you can.

Also, install the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack.
