If you own the older generation of MS' OS, your out of luck says Microsoft. Forcing people to upgrade can mean more money for the grubby hands of Gates.
OpenOffice is looking better and better yes?

"It's not the first time they've done it," Silver said. "Office XP wouldn't install on Windows 95. In fact, they built something into Office XP so that it wouldn't install on Windows 95."
Silver said a repeat performance with Office 11 would not be surprising, in part "because all support for Windows 98 and NT end on June 30, 2003. This is certainly in keeping with the lifecycle of Windows. If they don't support a version of Windows, why should they continue to support an application on that version of Windows?"
