if you got the illegal version from a "trusted" source it doesn't damage your mac but it still is considered stealing.

There are a lot of illegal software downloads that are infected with a virus, most often a backdoor, which in fact don't really hurt your computer... but the hackers that are able to find you now and take over control of your computer possibly will.

On a Mac the concern is malware that is distributed and then installed with the illegal software which can affect your Mac.

Does Microsoft Vista work with Microsoft Office 2002?

Yes, you can run MS Office 2002 on a Vista computer. However, I think the version numbers are 2000 and 2003 -- I am not aware of an Office 2002 for the PC -- maybe the MAC. If that is the case, then you would not be able to run the MAC version of Office on a Vista computer.
