Office 2003 Professional compared to Small Business,+2 other quest

[nyaardvark]

I have Works 7.0 and Office 97 either one of which entitles me to an upgrade
to Office 2003.

Question 1 - I cannot tell what if any difference there is between 2003
Small Business and Professional editions. I did visit the page which
purported to compare the different editions but I am still unsure of the
distinctions between these 2 editions. Please advise.

Question 2 - I am really only interested in Outlook 2003 and BCM. From what
I have read, my only option is to upgrade to the entire Office Suite. Will I
still be able to password protect files in Excel 2003 as in Excel 97? The
spreadsheet in Works 7.0 did not have this ability.

Question 3 - I am a one person business with a laptop and a desktop. Is
there a feature which will allow me to use Outlook 2003 on either machine and
sychronize the information?

http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/compare.mspx shows the
differences. For example, Profession includes Access. Small business
doesn't.
