Exchange 2003 for sure, since its been out for a few months now. Hopefully they'll include Office 2003, so I can dump the beta code for gold. Im about ready to setup a 2003 box (Windows/Exchange) and test it live on the web for a few months :p

zactly...my home LAN is running win2k with exchange 2000, want to learn the new stuff....and see the differences....I really think Office 2003 is the best so far...very nice features, esp Outlook and I love Info Path. Just wish had enough money to make another rig to have my mail server off of my domain controller and web host.... EESH! ALL IN ONE

I've been having trouble getting 2003 Powerpoint to recognize older *.ppt files. :(

Unfortunately I ran into another quirk today - Outlook 2003 PST files aren't recognizable by older versions, due to a new Unicome improvement to pass 2 GB files. According to Google, this isnt a new issue, but there's no solution. Look like I'll have to create a VM with 2K just for Office xP :|
