Office 2003 vs. the rest

Is the switch from Office 2000 or 2002 to Office 2003 worthwhile? Should I wait for the first Service Pack to be released?

I have been using Office 2003 for about 3 months now, personally I love it but it really depends on what your needs are. By the way, there is already a critical update for Office 2003 - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828041

Because of the expense, I would stick with what you're using unless you have a specific reason for upgrading. For instance, if your office uses the latest Office and you ~have~ to be absolutely compatible, it'd be a good idea.
If you're talking about software for homes use, there'd really be no reason to upgrade at all. In fact most people could get by just fine with freeware alternative office suites or word processors.
Best Wishes, Bob

I agree with Bob. Office 2003 is really a good office suite but most of improvements(with probably the exception for outlook) are not really huge for daily home use. If you use office suite very extensively the you will really feel worth of the update. Otherwise, it's just the same old stuff with eyecandy icons.
