[dba-Tech] Cross posted: Is 2003 ready for prime time?

I have been running Office 2003 since last March and no major problems, 
only really running Excel Word and Access
haven't touched Outlook.. You will probably have to switch the macro 
security on first use and get used to Internet Help.
One thing I found useful was ability to machine translate documents via 
webservice. I only played around with MS Info and XML
To test a lot of this stuff I really need to have installed it on Win XP 
Pro rather than Home.
