Summary: The BEST Office Suite upgrade
Review: When it comes down to end user productivity and functionality then you need MS Office. This has to be the best Office suite from MS I have ever used. If you think you will save money by trying some office solution then think again. The Outlook mail client, for starters is the BEST mail client for the end user. Tired of trying to remember dates and keeping organized then give them a try. The other features are ease of use, this is a must have upgrade you will be extremely pleased! I have used all of the Office suites and I always recommend MS Office, it is one word 'AWESOME'...

Summary: Still not worth the money when openoffice is free
Review: While the rest of the world--Asia, Europe, South America, you name it--is switching like gangbusters to OpenOffice, millions of people in the US are still just assuming that you have to fork out a few hundred bucks every couple years in order to just produce a decent document. Which of course Microsoft Office in any version does. It does decent documents and spreadsheets and presentations. Fine. But for pete's sake, you can do all that for free with OpenOffice.org and no one from Uncle Bill will ever come knockin' at the door wanting to know where your licenses are. Still using Microsoft Office is like leasing your phone for $30 a month from the phone company when you can buy one for cheaper. Anyway, Microsoft Office 2003 has nice features but unless it can cure the common cold, there's no reason to be paying all that money for it. The latest release of OpenOffice.org 1.1 has even better compatibility with MS Office, it handles the new formats, it runs on Windows and UNIX, and it prints straight to PDF. So what is anyone doing paying for MS Office? Beats me.

Summary: Office XP 2003 - Should you bother to upgrade?
Review: You don't need it.... Should you bother to upgrade? If you already have Office 2000 or OfficeXP for home office or personal use, I wouldn't bother with an upgrade. It doesn't offer enough enhancements to the fundamental apps like Word and Excel to make it worthwhile, [...]. If you currently use Office 97, plunk down the cash. Billy Amato (NYC)
