Received this quickly. Love the seller. I needed to update software and I am glad I waited for this edition--lots of changes. I am very happy with this software.
 A huge disappointment July 7, 2007

While I personally use WordPerfect Suite 8, the best office suite ever programmed, for reports and writing projects, I keep a version of Microsoft Office to be compatible with my clients, and for Outlook and PowerPoint (both of which are decent programs). I decided with my new computers to move up from Office 2000 to the current version. I wish now I had bought Office 2003. Each component of Office 2007 is slow to load, slow to respond, just plain slow to do anything. The interface in not intuitive and I have to search for the old familiar functions. I am using XP Pro, so that may be an issue regarding startup speed, and yes, the computer hardware in a few years will improve to the point even this dog will appear fast.
Being a user of WordPerfect since 1985 and WordPerfect Office since its beginning I have encountered "improved" suites for both Word and WordPerfect office that actually were less functional and more buggy than the predecessor. The new programmers, using the latest and greatest programming language and methods, think that they have produced the be all and end all version, with latest jazzy snazzy interface. (This applies to WordPerfect office as well, which is why I use the Win95 era Version 8 rather than the latest.) But often they produce abominations, such as Office 2007.
So buyer beware, it is indeed a dog, at least when using XP Pro, and an ugly dog at that (considering the interface). If I hadn't already spent the money, I would give OpenOffice another try. The "user experience" surely cannot be worse, and may even be better ... and it is certainly not overpriced.
Last, I really have to wonder ... do the people that develop and oversee these software projects actually use their own product ... I mean rigorously use the software. If so, how could they let such products ship? Or does Microsoft simply not care, since they virtually own the market.
If this is useful to anyone I will be surprised, but at least I feel better. Now to a cup of coffee while I wait for Excel to load.
Less efficient July 4, 2007

If you were not very used to Office or hadn't used it at all, Office 2007 will be easier to learn initially. That said, if you were good at using the old software, you will find this new layout very inefficient and frustrating. It is icon-laden and trying to be user friendly way too hard, so much so that it kills what was previously good about it.
Outlook is still good, but Word & Excel have pretty much been reduced to useless. Stick with the old version if you can.

Major upgrade in my opinion. We are loving it so far.

 Tons of functionality improvements June 22, 2007

Office 2007 offers fundamental functionality improvements over previous versions. This is not simply new window dressing on an old Microsoft product. Some of the minor changes in Excel alone are worth the cost of upgrading to me.
For example, how many times have people you work withy highlighted all kinds of things in different colors in spreadsheets like that was supposed to be helpful for you? Now you can filter and sort by the formating of the cells. This turns out to be hugely useful.
Pivot Tables in Excel are so much easier to work with than in any previous version. The interface is simple and intuitive, and sorting, filtering and analyzing tools are more powerful.
Here's an example of an email feature I like. If you flag an email in Outlook as something you want to follow up with later, it becomes a task. Tasks you make don't cloud our your calendar, they have their own pane, and you can prioritize flags and tasks as you set them.
These are just a couple examples of changes I like. there's some many updates in this version of office that if these don't sound that meaningful to you, no doubt something else you find will. Past updates to Excel have had very little new in them from functionality and usability standpoint. That is so not the case here. Some reviewers have mentioned slowness with the product. I did find some of that myself initially, but after an update and getting all setup the way I like it, it's working real smoothly for me. One thing I didn't like was that to get search within Outlook, you had to go and install Microsoft's new Desktop search feature, which then takes over space in your Windows Taskbar. That sucks. MS, Please don't force people to take whole new programs just to get basically functionality working in one. also, I had trouble getting my Google desktop search to work after the MS search was installed. I had to go bac into the settings and update my Google version.
I'm not a Microsoft cheerleader, and I don't work for Microsoft. I don't normally find myself compelled to bother writing a review of their products, but I am impressed in this case, and I think that despite some of the flaws, this upgrade was well worth it. I recommend it to my friends and family, and I recommend it to you.
