Does Outlook 2000 work with Vista?

OK, call me cheapskate if you like but I've just shelled out for Vista and
can't quite run to upgrading Office as well. Besides, my clients use Office
2000 so I've never seen any rason to upgrade until now.

Anyway, my problem is this. I've got my nice shiny PC, installed Vista, all
up and running, lovely. I've installed Office 2000, installed all the
updates and patches (manually now; Office update no longer supports O2K),
copied my outlook.pst file across and configured my mail account (IMO).

I can receive mail OK, but when I compose a new message and click Send it
complains that it can't find WAB.DLL. This is because Vista no longer uses
the Windows Address Book. My initial reaction is to copy this file across
from the old machine and see what happens. Am I wasting my time, though?
Am I going to run into countless other problems and should I just save
myself the trouble and upgrade to Office 2007 now?

It's just so damned expensive though. The OEM version's two hundred quid!
