Microsoft Urges Office 2003, XP Users Upgrade! There's no time like now to get the latest service packs and patches for Office 2003 and Office XP, according to Microsoft. What's the hurry?

That pesky patent-infringement case, settled in the favor of a Guatemalan developer last June (to the tune of $8.9 million), is what's behind the Microsoft upgrade push. Microsoft is planning to appeal the patent-infringement case, but in the meantime, it is advising users to get the patches installed ASAP.
