Two questions:
1. Will office 2007 run with Windows 7 OS or do I need to buy Office 2010?
2. If I get a Blu Ray drive, will my "low-life" DVDs run?
Thanks.
Yes office 2007 is compatible with Windows 7. Yes your low life dvds will still run.
Thanks

I will be using it mainly for MS office and internet applications.
I currently have Toshiba Satellite with AMD processor. It runs hot. And with all the Vista updates, it becomes sluggish. I added one more user and it became more sluggish
