My small business currently uses Office 03 and we are very happy with it. The only reason we would get 07 is if there are valuable new features for Outlook. Does the 07 version of Outlook add anything of substance to the 03 version of Outlook?
In that case you could always just upgrade your Outlook. That is, if you deemed the 2007 version worth the upgrade. Do you use Exchange server or SharePoint server? I'd use it for the internet calendar subscriptions alone. I love it. Remember, Office 2003 is a very good version.
I'm not really thrilled with it. I think, but can't prove, that there are a few gremlins running around that cause some strange problems. For instance, Access becomes a fairly good-sized resource hog and table relations will stop working correctly after a period of time and will require a reboot to "clear up" whatever is causing the problem.
Also, the whole "look and feel" has changed completely. There's a rather large "ribbon" that replaces the old "File, Edit, View..." tool bar and it's almost completely uncustomizable as well as HUGE!
But, it was a corporate mandate so we live with it. If you're "very happy" with 2003, my suggestion would be to stay with it, at least until 2007 has gone through a few service packs.
