" I have been playing with Microsoft Office 2003 Beta 2 for several 
weeks now and my basic conclusions are still the same as they were when 
I first wrote about it. Which is to say that I have yet to run into any 
"must-have" features that should make you run out and buy a copy when it 
ships, presumably sometime this summer.

Whenever the suite does actually ship, it'll be available in a 
bewildering variety of packages. There'll be at least six editions. 
Microsoft will license the software in a half-dozen different ways, each 
tied to a specific market segment. And some apps will appear in two 
different "flavors.""
