MS office 2010 on windows 7 still runs OK in a VM.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoWhy not native LibreOffice? Does MS Office from 10 years ago offer something that LibreOffice doesn't?
- sokoloff 7y agoI believe all (most all?) of the MSOffice VBA automation doesn't work in LibreOffice.
- hdfbdtbcdg 7y agoSadly yes. I use LibreOffice where possible but sometimes perfect bug compatibility is needed.
- worble 7y agoWhy do you need a VM? I'm still running 2k3 office natively on Windows 10, no problems at all.
- wila 7y agoRunning 2k3 office outside of a container, vm or otherwise, is not recommended as it hasn't seen security patches in about a decade. Where you see no problems i can only think "Eeeks".
- Crinus 7y agoWhat sort of security issues do you expect Office 2003 to have that will affect you nowadays?
- hdfbdtbcdg 7y agoLoads. Simply loads. Office Macros execute by default in 2003 right? Hopefully no one is using the outlook from then as their mail client at least...
- wila 7y agoQuite a few of what you can see in this list [1]. [1] https://www.cvedetails.com/product/320/Microsoft-Office.html?vendor_id=26 https://www.cvedetails.com/product/320/Microsoft-Office.html...
- Crinus 7y agoYes but which of those apply specifically to Office 2003, on Windows 10 and will be exploited today in 2019?
- hdfbdtbcdg 7y agoBecause I don't want to run windows as my main OS?
