FP2003 upgrade from FP2000

[Tricky Dicky]

I am currently using FP2000 and I was considering
upgrading to FP2002. However Having just seen that FP2003
will soon be available, can anyone confirm whether or not
the FP 2003 upgrade will work from FP 2000 or do I need to
go via FP 2002?

Also, does anyone know when the FP 2003 upgrade will be
available in the UK and roughly how much it will cost?

Many thanks,
Tricky.

The usual Microsoft policy is that an upgrade from FP2000
to FP2003 will be OK. I expect this will continue but I
can't guarantee against a surprise.

Also, does anyone know when the FP 2003 upgrade will be
available in the UK and roughly how much it will cost?

I have no inside information on this, but the US date I've
seen announced is Oct. 21. If you're an MSDN subscriber,
you can supposedly download it on October 1.

I don't see any dates posted at
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/ but you might want to
check there occasionally.
