| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Office 2003 makes is easier for people to produce results and collaborate through innovations such as Information Rights Management, Extensible Markup Language (XML) and integration with SharePoint services.

Man, Outlook 2003 is completely awesome. Just when I thought that they couldn't do much more, this is completely different. Well, not completely, but significantly different.
Being a person that keeps 10 gagillion emails in one folder, or mixed up among various folders, I'm constantly having to search for things but Outlook 2003 has a much better view on the stuff you work with. I would buy Office 2003 just for Outlook. There are some nifty things in Word and Excel, but nothing revolutionary that I've seen. Outlook takes the cake in this one, though. |

I've been keeping w/Office 2000. I haven't researched 2003 much yet but I think it might be worth upgrading to 2003.
Has anybody used it that is still a Office 2k user or I'd love to see a review comparing 2k3 to 2k. I'd imagine I'm not in the minority when it comes to upgrading office. |

Stu, well... I wouldn't call what 2000 had as filtering, more like you have a set of blocked senders and it checks the incoming mail to see if there is mail from a blocked sender.
In Outlook 11 you have a true filtering system where you can set the level of filtering that you want done, it will actually try and figure out what is junk and what isn't. Now, it's no substitute for a good Beyesian (did I spell that correctly?) filter, but it's not bad at all. |

| Yeah, they need to lose the word 'Beta'. :) |

Daz,
Does Outlook 2003 use the same PST file format as Outlook 98/2000/2002 ? Can PST files from Outlook 2003 be opened and fully utilitized by the older versions of Outlook? This is a major issue for me and if the file format has changed then it's a show stopper. TL |

I've been testing this as well, and it's pretty cool. I like Outlook much better now. OneNote is still silly--but we'll see.
In the review it's mentioned that "Outlook crashes" How? I haven't managed that feat yet and I'd love to reporduce that bug...if you haven't had a chance to report that to MS you should. |

| I think Office 2003 is definately a worthwhile upgrade - from Office XP or any previous version. Of course Outlook carries the suite, but I find myself using the Reading view in Word quite alot. Excel has nothing new that is compelling, nevertheless it is still a good app. I don't see myself using InfoPath or OneNote at all. Maybe if I had a Tablet PC I'd use OneNote. But, all told I recommend this product... |

| A 20 GB pst file! cool - that's bigger than my entire hard drive... |

#14,
Thanks for the info :) Damn, no Outlook 2003 for me. I will have to stick with 2002 for many years then because the ability to use the PST files with the older versions is absolutely imperative. Microsoft and their damned file format changes :( TL |

I've heard that in some cultures, a big PST file is regarded as a sign of virility....
Of course, most likely no one has seen a 20 GB PST file (since the capability was just introduced in the Office System 2003 Beta), but I have seen occasions where email account exports had to be split across multiple PST files. |

Tech: It's actually a NICE change, though.
You can actually add in and out new PST files dynamically, rather than having to go download the back-up plug-in for Outlook 2002. |
