Well.. If you're in a corporate enviroment, Office XP is worth the upgrade. It has a lot of collaboration features, which is a definate plus. Past that though, it's not all that. If money's not an issue, I'd get it.

See http://www.microsoft.com/office/evaluation...pth/compare.asp

I use M$ Office XP with FrontPage 2002.

Before that I used M$ Office 2000 with FrontPage 2000.

As XxMaNsOnX said, the collaboration features are very handy when communicating, transfering docs and presentations, with other office users.

I like to keep all my M$ software on an even keel so to speak. The newest OS, newest Office, etc. Seems that the total Windows software environmet runs smoother with less add-ons and patches that way.

I would not spend the money for my home system. Office 2000 at home is good enough for me.

Doesn't Office XP have more patches and fixes than Office 2k did?

we should notice more fixes for MS products now...

Just SP1 for Office XP.

I use Office XP standard edition as I dont like Frontpage 2002, and I would never use Access 2002. I mainly use Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. If you are a PowerPoint user and do lots of presentations for business etc its well worth upgrading as there are more animation builds in PowerPoint 2002.

I would recommend upgrading, as Office XP has much more functionality.

Thanks
