You can not beat the prices at Amazon. The software and Free delivery options for software is outstanding! Items at stores are MUCH higher and Amazon beat them all.

A great new update on the old one with all of the essential programs needed for school, college, or university success. A little different to the old one and be carefule to save files in both the old and the new format. The old format WILL NOT READ? OPEN DOCS MADE IN THIS ONE!!!!!! Also the schools have yet to fully update either with a patch or the new version, so they can not read the new files either.
 Classical Microsoft junk January 17, 2008

Office 2007 replaces all the menus & toolbars from previous versions of Office with "The Ribbon".
The Ribbon is a highly non-intuitive gimic that forces you to throw out your hard learned knowledge from previous versions and re-learn how to navigate the programs from scratch. You will waste hours punting around the Ribbon, trying to to figure out how to execute tasks you're used to doing in seconds.
Worst of all, there is no way to configure Office 2007 to have the look/feel of Office 2003; you're stuck.
Bottom line, Office 2007 is a disastrous product that has severely impacted my productivity. I really regret having purchased this product.
Word is back January 14, 2008

I had lost the use of Word and the only way I could use it was in the modified version of 'safe mode' and it was horrible. When I downloaded this product it cleared everything up and now I have to learn how to use this newer version. I bought "Office 2007 for Dummies" and I can find now where things are.
Takes a lot of getting used to but is overall user friendly January 14, 2008

I just got a new computer so I got the trial version of Office 2007. I don't like how I have to buy it but I guess that's how it alway was.
Initially I didn't even know how to approach this version of Office. I used Excel and Word (haven't played around with Powerpoint or Onenote much yet) and everything is so different. I had to use the help option to locate many things. But now that I'm pretty used to Word, I'm not sure how I can go back...
I'm a college student and I write a lot of research papers that require references. So far, I feel the biggest advantage with Word O7 is the built-in citation, bibliography, and references option. Way back in high school I used to do everything myself, indenting, looking at guides for the format and that was an exhausting process. Then in college I used an online tool that doesn't always fit, with a different font size and I still had to reformat everything. I really wish I had Word 07 back when I was a freshmen, because that's tons of time I would have saved. For this reason alone, I do not want to go back.
I've never been too much of an Excel user since I don't do a whole of graphing or calculating. However I recently had to create a comprehensive table that could calculat averages and other statistics. Before on other versions of Excel, I think you would need to know certain formulas (I may be mistaken because of lack of use). However, Excel 07 is so user friendly, it has an entire tab dedicated to that, and calculations are just one click away. Also, creating nice looking graphs and tables are much easier, there isn't a need to mess around, because everything looks so professional right away.
I think this is a classic case of the technology catching up with the idea. Office 07 is a great software but documents saved in this format cannot be opened in older software models. This makes transfer, exchanging, and turning in my papers much more of a hassle. I have to remember to save everything in the .doc format, and I never do, so I two of every document in two different formats. It wasn't a problem with the previous versions as I used Office 2000 for years without upgrading and opened 03 documents just fine. However, I believe once the rest of the world adjusts and uses this version, they would all grow to love it and just like me, can't go back. Once the technology catches up, there wouldn't be a compatibility issue (which I understand can be solved already abeit a bit of a hassle).
My trial is running low so I'm going to pay Amazon's cheaper price for it, and it is worth it.
