So where can I get a good explanation with images of Form Regions? The
initial information that I read made it sound as if they were replacing
Custom Forms. I haven't personally up/g to 2007 and my organization is
several months away (hopefully longer as I utter detest the DYVORAK RIBBON.)

So most likely the 2003 form will work in 2007 apart from just the minor
nuances with moving up a version?

In general, a form designed for one version of Outlook will work with
another. The biggest issues I've seen are when a complex form works well in
an earlier version but not in a later version. In those cases, the culprit
usually is that the form is just too big -- has too many custom properties or
formulas.
Another potential issue is that code or formulas on an Outlook 2007 form
might use properties that are not exposed in the Outlook 2003 object model.
I would go ahead and test whether your form created with Outlook 2007 will
work with Outlook 2003 as well.

What sort of issues should I be aware of when rolling out Custom Outlook 2007
Forms in an environment where some users are on 2003 and other are on 2007?
I'm assuming that the forms *WONT* work with 2003 users, but what sort of
errors will they see and can they cause any issues for the 2007 forms by
trying to use them?
Is it best to just wait until 2007 is completely rolled-out before
publishing the forms?
