Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Office Standard 2007 UPGRADE

- Good product
It is office after all and a solid product. I would like to see it less expensive.. I don't see a compelling reason to upgrade from 2003.

- A great update.
This update CD was simple and easy to use. The RSS facility in Outlook is grand. :)

- From an experienced Excel user
I have used Excel as the primary tool of my consulting practice for the past eight years and can do things with charting that most folks would have no clue how to do. I say this not to boast, but to speak to other experienced users who are considering the switch to Office 2007.

The change from Office 2003 to 2007 is unlike any other upgrade -- it is the most difficult learning (unlearning?) curve I've ever faced. My analogy is to a carpenter where someone changed all his tools (all the settings, all the functionality), and then hid them. That's what '07 Excel is like: you can't find your tools (they aren't where they used to be), and they don't do what they used to do. It is enormously frustrating, and simple tasks (like formatting a chart) that used to take 3 minutes now take hours.

There are some nice new features: conditional formatting has more than 3 choices (yeah), you are no longer limited to 250 columns (yeah), etc; these functionality and capacity improvements are welcome. But 99% of the changes are arbitrary and useless (e.g., you now can find the "macros" tool in the "View" tab -- just where you would've guessed, huh? And how about adding a "Comment" box to a cell? Where might you find the "Comment" tool? Under the "Review" tab (how many guesses did it take?). And the help files are absolutely useless -- the worst yet for MS, and I've thought their help files were lousy in the past.

The biggest frustration is colors. I used to be able to hand set 64 different colors on my color palette -- I created a palette much nicer than the gaudy set supplied by Office '03. But now MS supplies you with a myriad of color palettes which they think are best. You can edit 8 colors, but then the rest a automatically chosen for you (with no rhyme or reason I can detect). And if you laboriously create some new colors for a particular file, they are all forgotten on any new file.

If I were a VP at Microsoft, I'd take the entire MS Office team, which must number in the thousands, and downsize it by 90%. The useful changes in Office '07 are few in number, and could've been done by a small group. The Office Team is a perfect example of a big corporation growing like crazy and then trying to justify it's existence by making useless changes.

I'll stick with the upgrade, because my customers are beginning to upgrade and I have to keep pace with them, and 4-5 years from now we'll go through this again. But this new version of Office takes the cake for a multiplicity of useless and incomprehensible changes.

- Necssary, but painful upgrade
I upgraded my Microsoft Word, Excell, and Outlook from the Office 2000 versions that came on my Dell 1 GHz PC when I bought it because the older versions started malfunctioning. Notably, Word began doing destructive saves of documents and templates. I discovered that when one neglects to upgrade for such a long time, not only has lots of stuff changed but some of the changes took place so far back that they're no longer described in the Help material.

The new versions installed without problem and seem to be working well.
