Sooner or later everyone will move up to a newer version of Office unless they port themselves to the Linux platform.

As a consultant there are no other options then to add the new version to the never ending growing “toolbox”.

At present the number of versions that “should” be supported is:

* (Office 97)
* Office 2000
* Office 2002
* Office 2003
* Office 12

For those of us that have English as the second language we need to have the local versions available as well. Sure, the MUI-versions are in most cases acceptable to use but not always.

It’s easy to be flashed by all the new tech-stuff but what is the core value that the new version will bring to the businesses per se?

This will be the critical issue for evaluating the new version and will give the answer to the question.

Kind regards,
Dennis

First of all there is the word “Legacy”.
Used throughout MicroSoft as a veiled insult against anything old when in the real physical world a 1 million dollar Legacy from a great aunt would be very nice indeed.

Now we have “upgrade” :o )
