OneNote 2003, priced at $99, targets both Tablet PC owners - its handwriting recognition allows tablet users to scrawl longhand and then turns their scratchings into usable text - and traditional desktop and laptop customers with its note organizational tools. In another effort to put Office applications in the hands of customers, Microsoft has posted a free downloadable copy of OneNote, the stand-alone note-taking application that's not included in any of the six editions of the new Office 2003 suite.

Microsoft does not refund Software Assurance fees if a customer doesn't choose to upgrade, or if an upgrade is not available within the term of the plan. 'That's not a slam dunk,' said DeGroot, noting that the Longhorn edition of Office, the successor to Office 2003, may be more than three years down the road.

One possible problem in determining the value of the rebates is that customers who take Microsoft up on its offer are essentially betting that there will be a compelling upgrade to Office within the next three years.

'It comes down to whether you want Software Assurance or not.' Most customers would be better off going with a standard volume licensing agreement if all they're after is Office, DeGroot said. 'In no way is this the cheapest way to upgrade,' he said. 'Those that want to move to Office 2003 and want rights to upgrade to a new version of Office that ships within three years should take advantage of this offer.'ДeGroot wasn't so quick to make a blanket recommendation. 'Enterprises of every size should consider when making buying decisions,' said Gartner's Jonathan Mein in a statement. Some analysts see the rebate as a win for most organizations. 'Microsoft is trying to encourage sales of Office for people who are not eligible for an upgrade because they didn't buy Software Assurance,' said Paul DeGroot, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft. The rebate offer is good through the end of April 2004, and is available only through Microsoft's Open Value, Select, and Enterprise Agreement licensing programs. The amount of the rebate varies depending on the Office bundle bought and the number of copies purchased. Although the company hasn't made a formal announcement, a Web site lays out the details.Д¬ompanies which buy the Office Professional, Standard, or Small Business editions and that also sign up for Software Assurance - a Microsoft program that provides upgrades in exchange for a yearly fee - are eligible for rebates as high as $38,000. Microsoft has created a rebate program for buyers of Office 2003 who also sign up for a three-year Software Assurance plan.
