Has there been a step backwards from the beta version for
on-line collaboration? What was wrong with the old and
excellent PowerPoint Conferencing? The new version uses
NetMeeting and not Windows Messenger?? What is the
recommended method for online collaboration within a
corporate network?

Updates".]

Hello Colin,

The NetMeeting feature is retained in Office 2003 (PowerPoint, Word, Excel)
for the sake of backward compatibility, but it an enterprise is moving to
the Office 2003 System (including Windows SharePoint Services on Windows
Server 2003), a rich set of collaboration scenarios are supported using the
Professional editions of Word 2003, PowerPoint 2003 and Excel 2003 in
conjunction with SharePoint Document Workspaces and Windows Messenger. For
more information see:

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide additional collaboration functionality, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
