Microsoft has released Service Pack 2 for Office 2003 which addresses reliability issues highlighted by customers.
The updates include support for applications, security and performance improvements, and extend across Office client applications as well as servers.
On the security front SP2 includes an enhancement to Outlook to help prevent phishing attacks, the spoof emails that try to obtain private data.
Outlook also has an improved spam filter. Junk messages are now rendered as plain text, preventing HTML information from being viewed inadvertently. Links are now disabled in spam.
The SP2 release ranges from 50MB to 104MB, depending on selected download components. It is applicable to all versions of Office 2003, and includes support for SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.
Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 have been updated to include support for the upcoming releases of SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.
Customers can download the Office 2003 SP2 updates here.

Student Edition problems
Apparently the Student Edition will not accept the SP2 updates. I've tried twice and no luck, so don't waste your time.
