I've been using XP for a month now and haven't seen many drawbacks, although it takes a little getting used to, as the look and feel is a bit different from anything that came before, and some users may get confused. New and better in XP: Merge revisions into original document, some level of voice recognition (I haven't used it), an attempt at imitating WordPerfect's Reveal Codes (not nearly as good).
Whether it's worth it or not really depends on the group you're deploying it to: how much they will use the new functions vs. how much hand-holding they will need to change over.

My first notice of improvement was with outlook xp. When you create/enter your mail settings it offers a test e-mail settings button before saving the info. So you don't have to save & close, then try to send/rec mail. Not to mention the ease of working with several programs on the same doc, at diff times of course. It's very easy to edit a web page file with Frontpage xp, save n close & then open with word xp. In office 98/2k it was so unstable trying that.
