Have an environment of 2200 users where we are upgrading the FrontPage,
Visio, and Project products from their 2000 versions to their 2003 versions.
However, we are keeping the version of Office at 2000 Standard. Not looking
for opinions because I KNOW this is not the brightest move in the world (it's
a management decision, so that explains a lot). Looking for some facts to
back up opinions that this not a smart thing to do. I know there will be
common files between Office and FrontPage, so it's not a good idea to mix
versions. But I'm looking for some more ammunition to use against this
decision, some real horror stories of what could happen by mixing versions of
MSO products. All input is welcome AND appreciated.

Trust they are also aware they will continually need to install multiple MSO updates (SP) from Windows Update
(since it now includes Office)
