In spite of potential problems if you like better XML support and cool hooks from .NET world then it's still an interesting upgrade IMHO.

What I'm NOT liking is the use of the digital certificate that MS forces your users to click on now a days. This is to help the clueless users ensure that they will be protected from "unauthorized" software. Yet when you download anything from WinAmp to TaxCut, you never get a question of "ARE YOU SURE YOU WISH TO RUN THIS UNSIGNED DOCUMENT?", that's not going to promote healthy computing, it's only going to make your users Question why you didn't create a digital signature. When you finally do, they'll ask why they have to authorize it. I find that pointless and a hassle with newbee users. Other than that, I can't find too many bad things to say about it, but I don't use A2003, I'm still developing in A2000. -- -Francisco
