Installing MS office on both Vista and 7 in dual boot
I installed 7 last night with no problem. I set it up as a dual boot with my existing Vista.I want to be able to run MS Office on 7 as well as Vista. Can I legally do this? Not sure where to find this info myself, so I hope the community can help me out.Thanks,Duane

Since it's installed on the same PC.

Since this would be just for testing you could also download the 60 day free trial of Office 2007Daniel Nerenberg MCT MCSE MCITP MCTS MVP

If I interpret correctly, I guess you are asking if you can use the same %programfiles% directory for both installations so that both OS see the same Office install. Although you can do that, it is best to install Office twice: once on the Vista side and once on the Win7 side. Yes, you will take double the disk space, but you will have no issues.
