Office Versions
SharePoint works with Office 2000, 2002 (XP), and 2003. However, the feature set varies a great deal among these versions. Basically, all versions allow you to save and open files from SharePoint sites through a browser; 2002 supports some integration (export list to spreadsheet); and 2003 provides full integration through the Shared Documents task pane.
