I am happy that my version is called "Microsoft Office 2002" aka Office 10 🤣
Did and still does all I ever need. Plus: Is mine!

Way too fashionable for me...I use Office 2000 exclusively. I don't even have to be on line to do that license authorization.

I have both, but also used 2000 forever. But I found that under Win10 Office 2002 runs much smoother. You should give that modern version a try.

I ran 2003 on a computer for a while since that's what it came with. It was fine. The problem is, of course, that you can't buy 2002 or 2003 versions any more, and I own a few dozen Office 2000 licenses. With the later versions it's almost impossible to get rid of the detrimental UI changes.

My Excel 2000 runs on Windows 11. I think there was some small feature that didn't work, but not something I use, so I'm good for another few years : )
If I need more than 64k rows for something, either I'm doing something wrong or I've taken a job at a UK epidemiology office.

Btw: I don't think anyone can beat me to my Email client. It's called Outlook Express 6. Yep, that's right. Not Outlook, but Outlook Express.

In case somebody else also loved it so much that he wishes it would run under Win10 (and probably 11): It does!!!

All you need is the freely available OE6 version from Wicky Hu (search for "Outlook Express for Win 10.zip" or "OE6.v0.4" or "OE6.v0.5"). Microsoft by purpose made some OE6 core DLL's incompatible with Outlook Express, but Wicky Hu's version simply comes with the old DLL's and cares for them to be loaded and correctly called when starting Outlook Express.

I use Office 2000

And here I thought I was a stick-in-the-mud, using Office 2003.
