Almost forgot: Xubuntu 8.10, Wine 1.1.11, Acer Aspire One (1.6 Intel Atom, 1GB RAM).
First, never run wine (or winetricks) as sudo/root. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-96bebfa287b4288974de0df23351f278b0d41014 Second, Office 2007 does not need any tweaks or overrides to install in recent versions of Wine. Delete your ~/.wine and run the Office 2007 installer as a normal user. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992
Office 2007 crashes every time I successfully enter the CD key so I started trying some tips I found online.

It took me a couple tries to catch the first two lines. The window pulls up right, but as soon as a correct key is entered it locks up and starts chewing up all the CPU cycles it can allocate itself. The little green check mark doesn't show up so I'm guessing the error is just in whatever validates the key. I'm actually considering getting a cracked version just so I can bypass the CD key.That's normal console output; I get the same thing running the Office 2007 Enterprise installer. Originally you said it crashed. Did it actually crash, or did you just get tired of waiting and kill it? Office 2007 Enterprise takes a long time to display the last digit of the product key and move on to the next step. It takes about a minute on my 2.3 GHz system; I imagine it could take quite a bit longer on an underpowered netbook. The delay has nothing to do with validation; it's a deficiency in Wine's riched20. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15027 You can speed up the process by using native riched20 for the installer, or just wait longer. After installing, set riched20 to (native, builtin), as Powerpoint won't start up without it, and it fixes some other glitches in Word as well. There's no need to copy the dll or use winetricks; Office 2007 installs its own riched20, but the override needs to be set in order for Wine to use it. (If you want to set the override for the installer, you will have to copy the dll or use winetricks, as Office's version won't be installed yet.)
I waited longer and it worked, I have just been nervous letting things run like that since I have yet to get a working temperature sensor. I am amazed at how smoothly everything is running (even wobbly windows works!) Welp, there's one less reason to stick with Windows :D
