Office Install from 2003 Clean v New Install

[JT]

We are about to deploy office 2003 to our front end Terminal Services /
Citrix servers.

Does anyone know if there are any differences between doing and new
installation (removing old Office 2000) and doing an upgrade? Are there
advantages of doing one over the other?

Not especially, because an upgrade first uninstalls your current products
(although, it preserves the settings) and then installs the new ones. In one
sentence, if you'd like to keep your settings for Office 2000, choose the
Upgrade. If not, to start from "scratch" do a clean install.
