Well, since I couldn't wait to get my new 12" Powerbook, I will have to pay full price for Panther,

BUT, I want to buy the student-teacher office, but if there's a new version coming, this one I can wait for -

Whats the rumormill saying about new versions of Office?? Should I bother waiting? I used the test drive, and the program is very nice (and I need MS compatibility)...

Since Office 2003 was just released for Windows, I doubt you'll see a new Mac version for at least a year...that is if they make a new Mac version. Haven't heard anything from the Mac BU if a new version of Office is in development. I hope so because I need Office as well. If you really need it, I'd pick up Office v.X

if you need office you may as well buy it now.....*if* there is to be a new version it certainly is not imminent.

Microsoft officials have said on several occasions that they are working on the next version of Office for OS X.

It will be ready when it is ready.

Also, perhaps they are waiting for Panther to be released before they release this new version? They say that Windows Media Player 9 will come out after Panther is released as well.
