>I don't normally download ANY betas any more, but this one has me intrigued for a couple of reasons:
>1) Huge changes long touted (I want a heads-up on them);
>2) Office 2000 and Office XP both give me grief frequently and I'd like to see if 2003 is better.

Outlook 2003 is the one I use most, and I love the various changes -- especially the ability to block external content in a message. There are still a couple of holes in beta 2, but I'm sure they'll be plugged by release.
