Office 2003 From eWeek Magazine, a first look at Microsoft's new office release. It's not a surprise - eWeek isn't jumping up and down to sing the praises of the new Office release. Since Office 97, there hasn't been a real pressing need for businesses to upgrade. Most users hardly use most of the functionality of Office 97, so why bother with the incremental offerings in the subsequent versions. Well, as a user of Office XP, I know the newer versions make it easier to do a lot of common tasks - however, for a business, I don't think you can really find a pressing need to go to Office 2003, unless you implement some of Microsoft's backend server offerings to take advantage of the new features of Office 2003. Then there is WordPerfect and StarOffice ... both good alternatives.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
