News: Say goodbye to Microsoft Office 2003
Microsoft has announced that it will stop selling Office 2003 as of 30 June 2007.
The company is understandably keen to move businesses towards upgrading to Office 2007, and expects it will take retailers and manufacturers some time to exhaust existing stocks of Office 2003.
Microsoft has also said it will continue to offer support and patches for Office 2003.
Writing on Microsoft’s Small Business Community Blog, Eric Ligman said:
“Also, remember that for your clients wishing to run Office 2003 still today, by taking advantage of the downgrade rights included in the Volume Licensing versions of Microsoft Office 2007, they can utilize Office 2003 today and then move to Office 2007 when they are ready without having to re-buy their Office license like they would with OEM. Remember that OEM Microsoft Office does not have downgrade rights.”
