Can someone explain to me the hierarchy of Office?
I mean will Office XP users suffer because they didn't wait for Office 2003?
I don't get it. Will Office XP users get updated to Office 2003 or what? Who can say?

Can someone explain to me the hierarchy of Office?

What do you mean by "hierarchy"?

I mean will Office XP users suffer because they didn't wait for
Office 2003?

Some may miss new features or the revamped version of Outlook. There's
always an opportunity cost in buying technology at a specific time.

I don't get it. Will Office XP users get updated to Office 2003 or
what? Who can say?

Only very recent purchases (after August 15, 2003) of Office XP entitle you
to an automatic upgrade.
