requirements for office 2003

The box says requires windows 2000 or windows xp or later 
operating system. I have windows 98. Does the or later 
mean later like 98 or later versions of window 2000? I 
have a hewlett packard pavilion 6530 with a intel celeron 
processor 433MHz. The box also says requires pentium with 
233 MHz or higher. Please tell me if I Will be able to use 
this program on my computer?
Thank you for your help.

No.  WIndows 98 was released in 1998, and Windows 2000 was released in 1999.

You need either Windows 2000 SP=3 or greater or Windows XP.  Windows Server 
2003 is also a supported platform.  Any of the 9x flavors of Windows (which 
you have) cannot run this software.

So, if I understand you correctly, you appear to think that Windows *98* was
released *after* Windows *2000*?! Maths obviously isn't your strong suit.
How can Windows 98 (released in, erm, 1998) have been released /after/
Windows 2000 (released in, erm, 2000)?!

Not a lot of thought went into that post, obviously...
