Office: Mac 2001 - v.X Upgrade Applicable

[RISC601]

I am getting a new G4 933 MHz iBook for Christmas. As I understand
it, Panther does not have Classic built into it. I currently have a
G3 iMac with Office: Mac 2001 installed and running. Both 9.2.2 and
OSX are running on the iMac.

Now the question...can you purchase the Office v.X upgrade and install
on the iBook? The way I understand things, I wouldn't be able to
install Office: Mac 2001 on the iBook and therefore wouldn't be able
to take advantage of the price break on the upgrade. Is there a way
to purchase the v.X upgrade and enter the cd key from Office: Mac 2001
when it doesn't find an existing version?

I had hoped to keep everything on the iBook native as opposed to
having it run both Classic 9 and OSX Panther.

Thanks

If you buy Panther you don't get classic but an iBook comes with both
Panther and Classic, as far as I know (I recently bought a 700 Mhz G4
iBook).

You will be able to run Classic applications just fine ( a window will pop up
starting the classic enviornment) but you will not be able to "boot" directly
into OS9.
