win me and programma's

Reading it I notice that Office 97 SP1 won't work if ME and Office97
(without the updates) is installed.
What if I want to format the C drive then install ME then reinstall Off97
and the updates - I presume this is ok?

> Windows Me components. If you install the SDK or DDK debug
> components, reinstall Windows.
>
> Microsoft MS-DOS Utilities
> Running Under Windows Me
> --------------------------
> The MS-DOS utilities installed in the \Windows\Command
> directory have been enhanced to work with Windows Me.
>
> Do not use the disk repair utilities that shipped with older
> versions of MS-DOS. Most of the other MS-DOS utilities that
> worked with earlier versions of Windows should continue to
> work with Windows Me.
>
> The following MS-DOS utility files are deleted after you
> upgrade from an earlier version of Windows:
>
> Defrag.hlp

> multiple-monitor issues, see the Display.txt file in
> Windows Me.
>

> ---------------------
> If you are upgrading to Windows Me and you install it in the
> same folder as your previous version of Windows, you do not
> need to reinstall your programs. If you install Windows Me
> in a new folder, you must reinstall all of your Windows-based
> programs. Copying from your old Windows folder to your new
> Windows Me folder is not sufficient.
>
> Anti-Virus Software
> -------------------
> Existing anti-virus programs running on Windows Me should be
> able to detect viruses, but they may not always eliminate the
> viruses they find. It is recommended that you update your
> anti-virus software to a version that is designed to run with
> Windows Me. For information about upgrades, contact your
> anti-virus software vendor.

> Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
> Network Names and Existing Software
> -----------------------------------
> There are three ways to assign a network resource in Windows Me:
>
> - Assign a network resource by using its UNC name. UNC names are
> in the format \\server\share. Windows Me uses this method by
> default.
>
> - Assign a local name to the network resource. For example,
> assign one of your LPT ports to a network printer.
>
> - Assign a drive letter to a remote disk drive. This method was
> the default in Windows 95 and is still supported in Windows Me.
