Also, anyone know how to install Office 2007 on DOS? The installer GUI doesnt seem to work.

almost correct ... the reason why it won't work is NOT because of the NTFS file system.
It's because MS-Office required a Windows Operating System, not a Disk Operating System(DOS).

Most significantly Office 2007 needs a 32-bit operating system, so it won't work on anything lower than Windows XP. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/produ ... 51033.aspx

You will still be able to install and run MS-Office 2K7 on a Windows installation running the FAT16 or FAT32 filesystem.

re: virus - Have a look at Dr. Solomons Maigc Bullet from http://www.uic.edu/depts/accctest/softw ... magic.html.

Dr. Solomons used to be the shiz niz when DOS was still a mainstream OS.
