I picked up and installed a copy of the new Office 2003 upgrade tonight. I haven't had the time yet to get a good look at all the available features, but it certainly seems that the assessment in this PC World article is accurate. And that is; buy the new Outlook program separately and save your money on Word and Excel. There just doesn't seem to be that much new in either program, while Outlook definitely has a new look and  new features. I also bought a copy of the new Microsoft program 'One Note'. This program looks very cool, but I don't want to give any opinion on it until I've had a few days to work with it. If it does everything that it looks like it can do though, it's going to be a big winner for Microsoft.
