- Microsoft Office 2007 Upgrade
I'd actually give this and any new MS Vista product "negative 5 stars" if the system allowed it. I had to buy it since the new computer I bought came with Vista and only had Works preloaded. I looked into using WordPerfect, but didn't feel confident it would work with Vista, since so much else doesn't work with Vista ( I still can't use my wifi back-up storage drive with Vista). It's different from the earlier versions , I liked the old version just fine, so it takes some getting used to. The really big pain is that you have to go in and intentionally save things as the earlier version of Word and Excel to be compatible with the earlier version which I have on my other computer and most other computers still use. Vista is the real problem here. Like Vista, it's just not ready for prime-time, once again the "geniuses" in Seattle have decided that we all should want something "new" and "better". I was satisfied before, it's just an annoying pain when they decide to change for the sake of change and to make more money. When the automakers change cars dramatically, you can like it or chnage brands and possibly find something more to your liking. With the MS monopoly, there's really not much choice or any options. I'm not an MS fan obviously, but I don't have the patience to tinker with adjusting to Mac or Linux as alternatives when so much else is all MS based. Given a choice again right now, I wouldn't buy Vista and I wouldn't buy the Office upgrade to go with it.

- License allows an additional laptop install
The product requires activation, which includes sending machine identification information to Microsoft.

The good news is that the Office Standard license allows installation on both a desktop system AND a laptop. It also allows you to transfer the license to new systems, over time.

From the license: "Before you use the software under a license, you must assign that license to one device. ... You may install another copy on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device. ... You may reassign the license to a different device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90 days"

- Getting there... Simpler interface but, slower performance.
Office 2007 is a decent step in a positive direction but, it's still feels slow. Why should an upgrade to an Office sweet perform more slowly on relatively new equipment?

The new interface is a nice way for beginners to jump into Office but, for laptop users and those using quick keys, an "expert" mode would be appreciated.

It's odd, though, to have to translate the workarounds most have grown accustomed to with Microsoft products into direct, logical concepts an average human might have wanted in the first version (not the 11th!).

While the interface is an improvement, performance is clearly "designed" to drive the purchase of a new computer.

While I'm not sure exactly what features are truly "new," the entire product does seem more unified.

2007 components save in new .docX, .xlsX, .pptX? formats. While there are converters to open these formats in Office 2003, until all your associates are using 2007, it's a good idea to set save preferences to the '97-2003 version (doc, xls, ppt).

Despite the slower performance and the dominance of the "ribbon," Office 2007 is moving in a good direction. I'll look forward to cleaner code and improved performance in the next version.

- A More Patient View?
Am longtime user of Microsoft Office. I admit it was frustrating at first to use this new system, but have been delighted overall. Really cool new features (or least now accessible to me): Outlook as nice feature of a to-do bar with just the next few appointments coming up to right of monthly calendar view. To do file management like delete/rename in Word open menu, (as opposed to going to to file manager), the real time resizing and recoloring of text as mouse passes thru the color and dropdown menus (as oposed to choosing, see if it works, go back to the size menu, choose, see if it works etc.). Their rational in going to the ribbons was that too many features were never discovered for use, and I do feel that as a power user my power is enhanced as I go through the ribbions by clicking on tabs at the top. Bottom line, for someone really into the esthetics of software and who is patient, this upgrade is probably for you. Otherwise the previous version will do nicely.

P.S. If you've not download the free Microsoft Desktop search program, run to rather than walk to is my recomendation.

- MS Send me some relief money!
Being a PC user for many years (since 1985)I have come through all the versions of MS operating systems (does anyone out there remember 3.5!) MS has also piggy backed this "robust" office product for 20 years. Their upgrades are seldom anything more than a better looking toolbar. This is no exception, but this time I like the tool bar! As to ease of use, I use PowerPoint and Word often and my spouse uses Excel. If there were an easier product available we would buy it but then Windows XP would kill it on sight and Vista would stop working altogether. Why does MS think that everyone but those working in a professional since (hence Office for Professionals) needs all the junk they subject us to? Do those guys in Redmond still think adult users of the PC like "cute" things like little doggies wagging their tail or a friendly paper clip to help you answer your every question! I am tired of Beta testing MS products for so many years but as a PC user I am stuck with them and until someone else can come up with a better system, other than Mac, we are all stuck with them.
