When does Office S&T "2003" become obsolete?

Hello Folks,

I am ready to purchase Office Student & Teacher 2003 edition to install on
a new computer. I am just wondering, with 2003 in the title, am I going to
be buying something that will be superceded soon?

Thank you,
David

January is the scheduled Retail release for Office 2007. If you wait, you will not get Outlook with the new Student and Home edition (replacing STE for 2003 and XP) but it will include OneNote. If you need Outlook, you may want to purchase STE now.

Office 2003 becomes "obsolete" when it will no longer do what you need it to
do. Just because there's a newer version doesn't automatically make the
older one obsolete.

Thank you folks, you have given me a better feeling for my question now. I
probably should have asked how soon will they stop supporting OS&T 2003;
won't it be at least four years earlier than OS&T 2007? And also, if I do
go ahead and purchase it now, what kind of upgrade benefit (if any) might I
expect?

Thank you very much,
David

Thank you for the replies, folks. Yeah, you're both right:

Bob, it *is* pretty inexpensive compared with the flagship product; and
JoAnn, yes, just because support stops in '09 doesn't mean the software
stops in '09! <g> Thanks for the link.

Since S&T Office 2003 may be installed on 3 of the household PCs, it is
even a better deal that way.
