 Worst Ever June 6, 2008
This is possibly the worst software I have ever encountered, disjointed poorly presented an absolute disaster. I wouldnt buy this software with someone else's money, let alone my own. The only people that will appreciate this package are those who have nothing else to do than play with the unfathomable and garish "Ribbon", gone are the quick and easy links, gone is the locical progression. If you want to accomplish a task quickly and easily look for another package.
Excel 2007 is CLEARLY not as good as 2003 May 21, 2008
I use excel every day & night since at least 6 years in my job (investment banking, 80-100h hours a week on excel).
Excel 2003 was a lot better as it is now: some functionalities have been removed, you have to use your mouse very often without the option to make it via your keyboard (example to apply styles to your cells), all previous shortcuts have been removed (alt+e+g for example doesn't work anymore!!); So forget about efficiency. Nothing that I would call really useful is better in Excel 2007. People who don't know how to use it will say it is nicer, but in the end, it's just a better marketing of a worse product.
I got a new computer on my job with Excel 2007, and I bought the 2003 version personnaly, so I'm sure to have it for the rest of my life.
As regards Powerpoint, when I open 2003 documents on it, all bullets and a lot of formating gets crazy, and people opening my document back in 2003 are just not able to work with it normaly anymore (document masks, bullet points, etc...) it can be very frustrating!
Outlook 2007 is better as 2003 though (specially because of a indexation search which allows you to find emails rapiddly, but I not sure if this hasn't be also added to the 2003 version eventually), but still the alt+e+g shortcut is really missing since you usually have to copy paste as a 'text only' some oddly HTML formated text from the internet.
Good luck to all the people stuck with 2007!

This product is awesome. Every day I see something else that is useful to me. Thanks
Annoying interface and Twice as Slow! April 23, 2008
The new menus/toolbars take up a lot of screen real estate. And, despite what Microsoft says about speed improvements, I just did some tests (I uninstalled '07 and installed '03) and calculations that took 5 seconds and 52 seconds (in Excel 2007) now take 3 seconds and 27 seconds (in Excel 2003). It's almost twice as slow.

I am a power user of Excel and have been using it for nearly as long as it has existed, but I do not own this latest incarnation of Excel and never plan to.
A good friend recently purchased a new laptop running Vista and with a full installation of Office 2007. She called me to help her with a spreadsheet that she migrated from Excel 2003 that was not updating correctly on several of the formulas. I can honestly say I've never been more frustrated by a piece of software in my life! I can navigate a spreadsheet with my eyes closed, but not only couldn't I solve the update problem she was having with Excel 2007, I couldn't find anything on the "ribbon" that was remotely familiar.
If you purchase this "upgrade", expect to spend hours trying to figure out how to do things that previously took you minutes or seconds to accomplish in the past. The ribbon is an abomination.
