Microsoft Office 2003 - Overview

Overview

A new Office logo as part of a rebranding effort by Microsoft, as well as two new applications, made their debut in Office 2003: InfoPath and OneNote. OneNote is a note-taking and organizing application for text, handwritten notes or diagrams, recorded audio and graphics. Office 2003 is the first version to use Windows XP style icons, visual styles and colors.

Office 2003 runs only on recent NT-based versions of Windows (it does not support Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows NT 4.0).

Office 2003 is listed as being "Not Compatible" with Windows 8 on the Microsoft Windows 8 Compatibility Center, while some have seen it to work perfectly.

Microsoft said that Windows XP and Office 2003 will end support on April 8, 2014 and the updates will be terminated and users of Windows XP and Office 2003 will be able to migrate them to Windows 7 and Office 2010.
