No, you can have both on the same computer. The only thing you'll have to
watch for, is during the installation you'll be asked if you want to make
OpenOffice the default application for Microsoft Office files. This is
entirely your personal choice and can be easily changed later.
Yes, you can have MS Office 2003 on your computer with OpenOffice.org.
I have MS Office 2003 pro and OOo 2.4 on my laptop, but I use
OOo for most of my work.
At times, you may be required to have MS to do support something or
someone, but for me, that does not happen more that once a month or so.
If you do not NEED MS Office 2003 on the computer, uninstall it. Then
save the MS CDs or DVD in a save place with the install codes. I have
uninstalled it once or twice to make more room on the laptop to work on
some very large projects. With everything I have on it, my laptop has
only bout 16 gig out of the 80 gig free.
If you run out of space - less that 10% free - I would look into adding a
second drive. Easier to do on a desktop. If you have a laptop, look into
the cost of a larger drive. I just have not had the time to do it lately.
Remember, it is up to you. Keep MS or not. I do, but I must support
a few who will not switch. The only real reason to uninstall MS Office is
for the space on the drive.
