Office 2000/XP and Office 2003 Compatibility 1

[Zilantyas]

I have a question. My client is switching from Office 2000/XP to Office 2003. During this process half of the machines will still have Office 2000/XP while the other half will have Office 2003 (this process may take up to 6 months while we work out the licensing - so it's crucial that everything goes smoothly). I'm currently managing Exchange 5.5 on a NT server. How will these scenarios affect e-mail, Office 2000/XP and Office 2003 compatibility, file transfer, and performance? Do anyone know of any known problems with Office 2003? Your responses is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For 'regular' office use, there should be no problems at all.
Unless someone starts using soem of the new features of 2003 everything will be compatible.
Except Outlook PST files, which cannot be read with previous versions, if that would ever be the case.
