From Lawrence Magid's column in the Chron today:

Office 97 came on a single CD and occupies about 100MB of disk
Office 2000 comes on four CDs and occupies at least 216MB of disk

MS Works 99 Suite takes up about 90MB of disk
MS Works 2000 Suite comes on six CDs and takes 785MB to 1.4GB of disk

With numbers like these, one has to wonder what will happen to the future upgrade market considering the percentage of the installed PC base that would have to upgrade to use the new versions even though their systems were just a year or two old.
