2 questions related to upgrading

[ekwang]

Hello,

I have Outlook 2003 on my work laptop. It runs a 1.83 Ghz Core Duo processor
with 2GB of RAM on XP Pro.

1) Is it worth upgrading to Outlook 2007 on this system?
2) And if I do the upgrade, and for some reason when I leave the company
have to uninstall Outlook 2007, will it revert to Outlook 2003 automatically?
Or would I uninstall Outlook 2007 and then have to re-install Outlook 2003?

Thanks for your input!

PS: I run Outlook 2007 on my XP MCE system at home which has a Quad Core 2
Duo 2.4 GHz processor with 2 GB of RAM and it is not the most responsive.

2) after uninstalling 2007 you would have to reinstall 2003

1) Is it worth upgrading to Outlook 2007 on this system?

Worth it to whom? What would the goal of the update be?

2) And if I do the upgrade, and for some reason when I leave the
company have to uninstall Outlook 2007, will it revert to Outlook
2003 automatically? Or would I uninstall Outlook 2007 and then have
to re-install Outlook 2003?

The latter.

Thanks for the responses everybody. I guess the real reason I wanted to
install Outlook 2007 onto my work laptop was that it was the latest and
greatest version. Might as well stick with 2003 as I don't have the
re-install disk and there are no real advantages to having 2007.

There may well be advantages to updating, but it all depends on the desired
outcomes. A cost/benefit analysis is specific to the environment being
considered for the update.
