Office XP vs Office 2003

[OhZyeah]

I currently have Office Xp and was thinking on upgrading to Office 2003.

Is it even worth the upgrade? Pros and cons of XP and 2003 versions? Thanks.

 

[DeviousTrap]

Almost the same thing... but its worth it just for the new outlook... well thats my opinion

 

[minendo]

Do you use Outlook? If so, the upgrade is well worth it. Otherwise, the few changes to the other apps are not worth it.

 

[TubStain]

Can you choose to upgrade only outlook, but leave the rest the old version?

 

[arcenite]

no one else said it, but if you use outlook, upgrade it.

 

[Blayze]

Like others have said its worth it if you use Outlook.

If not stick with XP.

Actually, if you use Excel a lot, the new List features are extremely useful.

Outlook 2003 works very good if you use it in a corporate environment. we access our email remotely, so the cached exchange feature comes in handy. The custom views that you can setup is another nice feature

That is all.

outlook 2003...i love it.....

 

[Anubis]

its worth it all around

 

[vi edit]

Office 2000 >*

Outlook 2k3 supports a much larger pst file, so that's a nice feature alone.
I've noticed that the applications load a lot faster than previous versions of Office, and this is critical on older and slower computers.

no voice recognition in 2003 if thats a feature you use in xp pro

 

[Compton]

One thing that suprised me was Office 2k3 will not install on a Win98 machine. I believe Office XP will.

(No I do not use Win98, someone else does.)

I find MSword 2.0 is good enought, but now happy with MSword97/Openoffice.

What do you mean? Both command-and-control, as well as dictation, work fine for me in 2003 just as they did in XP.

I'm assuming you paid nothing for it.

 

[CraigRT]

I might have to check out Office 2003
never even seen it.

 

[gwlam12]

whats new with outlook 2003? i just know the xp version wouldnt shut down by itself for me (when doing a shutdown) and it would crash after i wrote an email and tried sending it out without first loading outlook (i'd just press on the email link from a website)

 

[GoingUp]

ive recently upgraded to it, and we upgraded to it at work... it looks more stylized... but I dont see any major changes to the features I use at all....

outlook 2003 rocks. i love it
