Hmmmm, I may change my mind.

Do you know if it makes itself the "primary" Office system (as when installing Office 2000 or Office XP I told it to keep my old ones around but it completely removed them from Start-->Programs and I had to find them and make Shortcuts for them). I'd hope that a beta leaves the "production" versions alone and makes me make shortcuts for the beta version.

Thanks Craig

>You can install Office 2003 side-by-side with previous versions, with the exception of Outlook, which will replace previous versions. I haven't played with any of the new XML features yet. Outlook has a new look, which I find MUCH easier to use.
