Office 2003 will install and run on Vista.
MSDE isn't supported on Vista, but I'm not convinced that that is is the same as "won't work". Of course "isn't supported" is Microsoft-ese for "won't get the security update to stop you getting humped by the next iteration of Slammer".
If Vista looks like a Macintosh, then I have an uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt.

You know what's really stupid? Most of the "premium content" that all this shit is designed to safeguard is unutterable shit that's not even fit for wiping the arse of you and I.
(That last bit isn't necessarily an editorial comment, but it's a good point)
