What will this download do to my current MS Office 2003? Will it overwrite it or can I revert back to it in the future if I want? Thanks.

My old copy of Works is missing a .dll so it won't launch, it may be retrievable though. My old Outlook still works.

I don't have 2003 but a quick google search showed that people have them installed side by side. The installer gives you the option to upgrade or do as a separate installation. The only issue is Outlook 2003 which isn't compatible with Outlook 2007. You can still use Outlook Express.

It does break Microsoft Works by changing a DLL file, if you delete the Works folder then reinstall Works they run side by side. Microsoft will put out a fix in a later update anyway.

If you're concerned about it just set a System Restore point before you install so you can revert your system back to normal at any time.

So when it expires what are we supposed to do if we still have the same computer, we have to buy it?

No. It runs side by side with the beta, so you can continue to use 2003 at any time.
