If you have a modern Mac with an Intel processor, the answer is Yes (all current models of Macs use Intel processors). There are two ways to do this. Firstly, you can run Microsoft Vista as the sole operating system. Essentially you restart your computer so that it doesn't run the Mac operating system, OSX, rather it will "boot" straight into Vista. To do this, use the Boot Camp feature in Mac OSX Leopard. Secondly, you can run Vista alongside Mac OSX so that both run simultaneously. There are a number of products to enable you to do this. VMWare Fusion (www.vmware.com), Parallels Desktop (www.parallels.com) are both commercial products. There is now a free product called VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org). For both the above options you'll need to have purchased a full, licensed copy of Microsoft Vista.

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.
