"Awful, simply awful."
I have gone from being a power user of Word and PowerPoint to being completely lost. Hot keys, menus, toolbars, everything is different. What was Microsoft thinking? Do they have any contact with actual users? This is not a cleaner look. It is clutte
PROS: Absolutely none
CONS: Everything about it.

"Horrible UI, big icons waste screen real estate"
All of my resident micrsoft office knowledge has been wasted. It is taking forever to complete simple tasks because it is not intuitive where to find things. The sum total of wasted productivity worldwide must be the basis of a class action lawsuit
PROS: Pretty and colorful
CONS: User interface, thick icon bar adds a third toolbar row when two was sufficient before...waste of valueable screen real estate.

"It is NOT for the busy professional..."
I took a weekend to familiarize myself with the interfaces. The difference is that my living depends on my knowledge of the latest trends. For my business colleagues, Office 2007 would be too much change. Time is money. This one will take a quite a
PROS: It does have many great features.

"Am I out to lunch, or is Microsoft smoking something?"
I am a very heavy MS Office user of PP, Word, Outlook, Project, Visio, and Excel. I charge my clients by the hour, so productivity is everything to me. I was APPALLED at the organizational logic (if logic is the word I wanted to use) replacing the
PROS: I'm having a tough time thinking of pros right now.

"Tried all Vista Versions - Bill and company did a good job"
As an attorney and in charge of IT we needed a stable OS. I was hesitant buying a system with VISTA. After three months evaluation by 400 attorneys, we are buying systems with Vista Business and have had no problems and no blue screens. A big leap fr
PROS: A little difficult to learn, but excellent OS.

"NOT recommend for experienced users. BIG learnig curve!"
The ribbon concept is terrible. I finally hid the ribbon (glad that was an option) and customized the Quick Access toolbar in Excel with my favorite icons. However, the Office 2007 icons are also much harder to distinguish one from another than older
PROS: Still looking for something that makes it better than older versions
CONS: The new interface is terrible, and really slows you down.

"Solves MS problems by creating problems for user"
I'm a reasonably satisfied Office 2003 user who has considered Openoffice.org as a viable alternative. The Microsoft modus operendi, when confronted with such a situation, is to ratchet up corporate IT up to a new, different and non-compatible propri

"Office 2007 Learning Curve"
The user interface in Office 2007 is so different from previous versions of Office; there are little if any intuitive screens or menu items that will lead the user from the classic interface through the new interface. This is a radical upgrade and un
PROS: A lot of bells and whistles for power users. Many features that give to user complete freedom to create exciting documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. Excellent new features in Excel.
CONS: Too steep a learning curve for the average user. Not worth the effort to upgrade and learn unless you have a very specific need.
