Microsoft has released the public beta of Office 2003, the final version of which is due to ship later this year. Companies of all sizes will be keen to discover what's on offer, and will need to decide whether they should give Beta 2 a hands-on evaluation or merely keep a watching brief.

ZDNet has been hard at work looking at Office 2003 Beta 2, so check out the reports below. We've got an overview of the suite, a more detailed look at the new OneNote application, and an evaluation of Office 2003's implications for companies' IT strategies.
