InfoWorld | at | by Mike
When Microsoft releases its Office 2003 suite in June, several new application bundles will join the Office lineup, including a high-end Professional edition and a new Small Business edition. Microsoft's current Office suite, Office XP, has three retail editions: Standard, Professional, and Developer. Microsoft also sells a Students and Teachers version of Office XP, offering all the applications included in the Standard Edition at a lower cost.
With Office 2003, Microsoft plans to drop the Developer edition. The Office XP Developer edition included all the applications bundled with Office XP Professional, along with additional tools such as Microsoft's FrontPage Web site creation and management software, which the company also sells as a stand-alone product.
