re: Running Office 97 on new machine Friday, October 16, 2009 at 9:09 am Posted by Ricer46 (23825 messages posted) Apps don't care what the hardware is, as long as they will run in the OS. Office 97 worked fine for me on XP, others have reported different experiences.

I'm thinking of buying a new Dell 15 and laptop ($549) getting the XPP upgrade ($120) as our desktop (Dell 4300 and 8 years old) is XP and all our add on software is for XP. Would we be better off getting Windows 7? And biting the bullet now.
