Office 2003 Upgrade vs. Full Version

[Farley]

I have a new computer. It came with microsoft works 7.0. Can I buy the
upgrade version of Office 2003 or do I need the full version? Does the
upgrade version contain the same features as the full version? Please help.
$160 savings between the two versions.

The versions are exactly the same but the upgrade version will look for a
qualifying product. Does the upgrade package say that Works 7.0 is a
qualifying product? If yes, then save your money and go the upgrade route.

If you do choose the upgrade path, make certain you keep the original
(Works) install disk in a safe place; you will need it if you ever have to
re-install Office.
