I just bought a notebook with Vista homepremium. I don't want to buy office 2007, I still have my office 2003 from my XP. Can I use office 2003 on Vista?
If you can find a way around the whole administrator privelages thing. Apperantly administrators dont have enough administrator privelages in vista to do administrator like stuff, such as install office or run mobmeter

Please don't post if you don't know WTF you're talking about. You obviously don't even have Vista. To answer the OPs question, you will have no problem installing '03 on Vista. I did it and it installed and works perfectly fine. Almost everything for XP works perfectly on Vista.
I forget if 2003 has the same sort of anal product verification as other Microsoft products - I believe it was introduced with Office 2003, but I don't really remember. If you only have a single license you may have to call Microsoft and let them know you're installing it on another machine. Which is silly.
Unfortunately, 2007 is the same way, but what can you do.
Hopefully I'm wrong and 2003 isn't as invasive. 2007's other features are great, of course, but it's crazy expensive.

Again, wrong. You do not need to call Microsoft and tell them about switching machines.
