Note to self

According to the System Requirements. Office 2003 will only run on Windows 2000 or XP. (Probably server 2003 also although that's not listed on the beta, probably because it wasn't available yet?) That's going to mean an upgrade of our OS, as we are still using mostly NT 4.0 at work. I think it's going to be helpful to upgrade to XP before the upgrade to Office, if we decide on upgrading. We are going to need time for people to get used to XP before tossing the new version of Office at them as well.

Plus the expense of upgrading the OS needs to be considered as part of the overall expense of moving to Office System 2003. (Not that I don't think we should look at upgrading the OS regardless of what I find with Office, XP is that much better than NT.)

Of course involved in that will be decisions about hardware upgrades as well. Is Pentium 3 733Mhz, 128MB RAM and 10GB HD going to be enough for us to still be using on the desktop 3-4 years down the road? Will it even be enough to run XP and Office 2003 efficiently? Lots of questions...
