MS Works
2:27 PM EDT 6/12/07
One of our patrons has the old MS Works on floppies and would like to install it on her laptop that runs Vista. Is this possible? Does anyone know if MS Works runs on any of the newer operating systems or if it is available in a version that does?

It's hard to imagine that it would, but she could always try. One thing Vista seems to do well is to stop you from installing non-compatible programs. I would guess that it will stop the installation immediately. Of course, the other question is, does she even have a floppy drive on this laptop?

Microsoft does still make <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/default.mspx" target = blank>MS Works</a>.

But I would also suggest taking a look at <a href="http://www.openoffice.org" target = blank>Open Office</a>, which is a free, open source office suite that she might like even better.
