Management want this.... mmm ... Call Microsoft. Pay the fee. Get the
usual "no, it cannot be done" after two reinstalls, three complete
formats and one major OS upgrade. Then, report back to management, show
them a fat bill from Microsoft and tel them "our software vendor and
our OS vendor both confirm this: it doesn't work as its too old an
application".
Oh, and I'd appreciate if you haven't asked this question here in the
first place. Use the free Microsoft Newsgroups, for example. It's not
that difficult.
Unless you want to start a flamewar and a name-calling contest, of
course. Then, naming "Microsoft" in a Linux mailing list that covers
RedHat's home turf is the way to go.
Salut,
