compare Works Suite 2001 to Office 2003

[Cari]

I recently received a new HP computer and it has a trial for Microsoft Office
Editions 2003. Before I decide to try/buy this software I was curious about
the difference between Works Suite 2001 and Office 2003.

In other words, is it worth buying new software?

Thanks!

The Works Suite is intended for Home use:
Works Suite 2001 includes the latest editions of leading software from
Microsoft Corp., including Word, Works,* Encarta® Encyclopedia, Money,
Picture It!® Publishing, and Streets & Trips. New to Works Suite is
technology that makes it easy to transfer data to mobile phones, and
Windows® CE 2.0 operating system-based and Palm 3.0-compatible devices.


While Office is more Business application oriented. Given that you don't
state your needs or a reason to spend the extra money, I would say the
Works Suite would be sufficient.
