Is it worth upgrading to Outlook 2003?

Just started using Outlook 2000. I'm a palm desktop convert and really don't care for Outlook much.

I can upgrade to Outlook 2003 pretty cheaply.

Is it worth the upgrade? Is the user interface better? Any benefits to upgrading?

Plus, with my luck, the week after I upgrade, the next version of Office/Outlook will come out.

Thanks,

Jeff
 
It's worth it

Jeff:

Definitely worth it - one of the best moves you can make IMO. In fact, you might actually find you start liking the app a lot more - it's that much of an improvement over the version you're using. Yes, the UI is much better (the Reading Pane alone may be worth the investment) and there are new features that can really make Outlook a better place to live as well. My favorites are the Search Folders which give you a way to find related information across your Outlook store and gather them into a virtual folder.

There's a 60-day demo available. You might want to test drive it first (make sure you back up your .PST files first).
