Office XP vs Office 2003
My reply is at the bottom of your sent message.
In , DaffyDŽ typed: I'm running Office XP on a Windows 2000 machine. Since Windows 2007 will not work with this OS I'm thinking of buying Windows 2003 since it's so cheap these days. My question is, is there really any difference between the two versions? What are the benefits of upgrading to 2003? Thanks. To be entirely honest and not attempt to sell you an upgrade you probably don't require - what is your incentive to change from Office XP to anything else? In other words, if you upgrade to Windows 2k3 then, unless I'm missing something, your version of Office XP should work just fine. The same license issues are there - one install at a time - but it should work just fine. Your question isn't really that clear. You say "Windows 2007" and "Windows 2003" but I suspect you mean Office instead of Windows. In short, if your current version does all that you need it to do there's no reason (no major benefits) to update until you get a new PC and a new operating system. -- Galen (Not Current MS-MVP) My Geek Site: http://kgiii.info Web Hosting: http://whathostingshould.be "In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock Holmes |

Unless 2003 has one or more new functions that you really must have, IMHO I wouldn't bother... |
