it's time to upgrade

Probably because Office 2000 simply is not compatible with Vista.

Is he talking about Office 2000 or Office XP? They're not the same.

Office XP installs OK, Office 97 installs (with the usual problem relating
to system.mdw) but won't install SP2 because of a problem with the Marlett
font (which it seems to want to replace).

Yes - I successfully installed Office XP Professional (with Frontpage)
in Vista RC2 b. 5744... on several machines; with SP3 and further
updates provided by Vista Update.

So in order to use Office on Vista, everyone is expected to run out and
buy/update to Office 2007?

Whatever happened to Microsoft's promise of some semblance of backward
compatibility?

You catch on quick.

It died when they rolled out Vista and proved without a shadow of a
doubt that not only don't they care about their paying customers, they
hold them in disdain. You gotta get everything new like a new, high end
computer that will run Vista and a new office that looks "cool" with Vista.

Office 2003 works just fine as well.
