 Terrible August 20, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Microsoft are getting cocky again - this has possibly the worst user interface I have ever encountered complete with terrible visual style, appears to have been designed to be deliberately counterintuitive with the loss/change of many shortcuts as well as the loss of menus, and I did not notice a single new feature.
Get OpenOffice or stick with office 2003.

Just a quick note for all those fearing they won't be able to use files created with the new Office in previous versions. You can download compatibility pack from MS website which will let you open the .docx .xlsx etc files in previous versions of MS Office. As with most software upgrades there will be some issues with compatibility and some files (especially the ones using some advanced formatting etc. not available in Office 2003) will not look identical but that's perfectly normal.
Overall great piece of software! Will take some time to get used to the new layout but once you know where things are it's definetly easier to use and more productive.
Just one more thing - for those of you who are using or planning on using databases: the new Access is so much easier to use and so much more user friendly you'll be amazed!
One To Avoid. June 30, 2008

Well, I can't say I wasn't warned. I read the Amazon reviews regarding this product, but wondered if some of it wasn't just a few people suffering from that well known disease Hate-Microsoft-itis. So I wasted my hard-earned money and bought this. Big mistake. My computer (which is state-of-the-art) now takes at least twice as long to start up and Outlook 2007 has crashed at least once a day since it was installed, though it's usually a lot more often. I don't have a problem with the interface, I think it was due for an overhaul and whilst it does take some getting used to, most of it is pretty intuitive. But this software is very unstable. Word has crashed on me twice and Outlook, as mentioned before, is practically unusable. If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, might I recommend that you actually test your software properly before offering it for sale.
Microsoft's Delusions April 16, 2008

Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Edition (PC) - yet another over priced example of microsoft's delusions of grandeur.
 The change is a shock at first, but stick with it and it's worth it. February 22, 2008

The first time I used this I thought 'Oh my God, where has everything gone?'. It looks so different to the older versions of Office. However, after a few days I found it much easier to navigate than the old drop-down menu scheme, especially when using functions I haven't before. In a way this shows you all the different things you can do that you didn't bother looking for if you didn't know they were there. The difference when I then go back to an older version of Office (have to use 2000 at work) is astounding.
One thing I'm also quite impressed with is the way you can save as a file that you can open with an older version of Office - this might have been there on the older versions too, but I didn't know about it, whereas this is right there in the main menu. Other updates of Office seemed to just be adding new features on, but this is a complete and utter rethink of the whole thing, with the user in mind.
