....and were about to upgrade everyone from Office/PowerPoint 2000, would you
migrate to Office 2002 or to Office 2003?
Speaking strictly about PowerPoint here, and given that there are no new
animations in PPT2003, I am wondering which is the "safer" decision. PPT2002
has been street-tested for two years now and has been upgraded with a
service pack or two. I assume that PPT2003 would be as robust as an upgraded
("service-packed") version of PPT2002, but new software often introduces new
problems.
So, my question to those of you who have worked with PPT2002 and have now
used PPT2003 for a while: what's your gut feeling about which version to
standardize on. Program stability is paramount. Please understand that if
our company chooses to go with PPT2002, we'll not see PPT2003 for a very
long time if ever. If there is something particularly wonderful about
PPT2003 that we shouldn't miss out on, I'd like to know that.
Also, does the currently shipping version of PPT2003 contain the hotfix as
part of the program or must it be applied to each installation?
Thank you so much,
Bob Ostwald
