Whoopeee?! After 5 years of happily struggling with Microsoft Office 97 we're having Office 2003 imposed upon us -- no consultation, AFAIK no user-testing beyond the IT people but we will (apparently) be given a chance to try it out before all our lecture notes etc... stop working in January 2004! Sounds like a typical top-level imposed decision... (I'm sure there's an appropriate Dilbert somewhere <grin>) According to vnunet.com IT Managers feel railroaded into deploying untested applications -- dunno who's pressurising our lot but it's not the lecturing staff! It seems such a short time ago that we were forced to upgrade from Windows 3 to Windows 95 (summer 1998 -- a good upgrade with many advantages), Windows NT (mostly during 2002/3) and finally to Windows XP this year (summer 2003 -- a goodie from my POV but roundly criticised for the rushed rollout, lack of consultation etc ... sound familiar?)
