Default 2 questions related to upgrading

Hello,

I have Outlook 2003 on my work laptop. It runs a 1.83 Ghz Core Duo processor
with 2GB of RAM on XP Pro.

1) Is it worth upgrading to Outlook 2007 on this system?
2) And if I do the upgrade, and for some reason when I leave the company
have to uninstall Outlook 2007, will it revert to Outlook 2003 automatically?
Or would I uninstall Outlook 2007 and then have to re-install Outlook 2003?

Thanks for your input!

PS: I run Outlook 2007 on my XP MCE system at home which has a Quad Core 2
Duo 2.4 GHz processor with 2 GB of RAM and it is not the most responsive.

Worth it to whom? What would the goal of the update be?

2) And if I do the upgrade, and for some reason when I leave the
company have to uninstall Outlook 2007, will it revert to Outlook
2003 automatically? Or would I uninstall Outlook 2007 and then have
to re-install Outlook 2003?


The latter.

Thanks for the responses everybody. I guess the real reason I wanted to
install Outlook 2007 onto my work laptop was that it was the latest and
greatest version. Might as well stick with 2003 as I don't have the
re-install disk and there are no real advantages to having 2007.

There may well be advantages to updating, but it all depends on the desired
outcomes. A cost/benefit analysis is specific to the environment being
considered for the update.
