 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.

Pretty interface. Lousy new navigation system. Older Access databases not supported. Yet another ploy by Microsoft to extract money from the unsuspecting.
GOOD FUNCTIONALITY, VERY POOR LIFE SPAN November 23, 2007

I had two previous versions of this product - Office 2000 Pro and Office 2003 Pro. In both cases, after I'd had the product for about 2 years, it seemed like Microsoft made the product unusable by virtue of some automatic update and the product began to crash continually. I was able to make it work by reinstalling, but then it always seemed there would be some update or other to Windows or to Internet Explorer that then rendered the software unusable. I can't help but think that it's a deliberate ploy to force users to upgrade software that otherwise would run perfectly for years. I've moved over to Firefox now, and am using some free application software downloaded from the Internet in the place of Office. We also run macs in our design studio running Adobe software, and they don't suffer from these problems.
More Microsoft Monopolisation October 30, 2007

I can't really argue that this product isn't a good piece of software, although it seems a lot of people have mixed feelings about it's functionality. The thing that annoys me the most about Office 2007, however, is the the new .docx, .xlsx and all the other .*x formats. If I want to view a .docx file, I'll have no choice but to use Word 2007 because it is not compatible with any earlier versions of Word, that or I use something like Zamzar.com to convert the file for me. It seems like this is nothing more that Microsoft trying to impose its own industry standard file format, and thus forcing people, whether they like it or not, to purchase their software. I can't see any use for the .docx format when the .doc worked just fine.
