Many bug fixes. Some features were changed to be more useable.
If you have not bought 2002 then it would only make sense to buy the newer
version.

There is quite a lot of new stuff:

- Managed time periods (can lock down time periods for timesheet users)
- Build Team functionality in Project Web Access
- Windows SharePoint Services replaces SharePoint Team Services (provides document check-in and check-out, versioning, scales much better)
- Risk Management Functionality
- Multi-Value Outline Codes makes skills matching of resources work better and is easier to administer.
- Integration with Outlook means task owners can update their project manager about the status of their tasks right from Outlook
- Sample data now ships wth Project Server so you can try out features
- The Project Server database can be partitioned to improve throughput for larger deployments
- More documentation is available
- On-line help and newsgroups are available right from the Project desktop

There is a link to a what's new article on www.microsoft.com/office/project/prodinfo

Hope this helps.

Jack,

We are looking at upgrade Pro 2002 to Pro 2003, you
mentioned "many bug fixes". Can you list the major ones?
The only two that we're experiencing are: 1) The radical
growth of transaction log, 2) Illegal characters: Can't
accept /";:<>|[],.'?~`!$%^&*()-+={}\ from the name of the
cube, project plans, Enterprise Templates, resources,
fields or codes. Have they fixed them?

Thanks
James

Sorry James, I don't have a list and it appears that the Microsoft site is
being very vague about the details.
I THINK that the transaction log thing was fixed, but I'm not the best
person to answer this question.

Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will step in and answer. If no one
does in the next day, Post the question as a new thread with those two
questions.
