Productivity disaster
If, like me, you've been using MS Office professionally for many years, be prepared to bang your head on the desk.
The menu structures and toolbars are not an evolutionary step from previous versions and you'll have to learn where everything is all over again (and you won't be able to guess!). It's actually easier to migrate to OpenOffice (free!) from previous MS Office versions than it is to migrate to Office 2007. When you're under pressure to get something done, the last thing you want is Microsoft wasting even more of your time than usual. I had to get this because my children use it at school but I'll be using Office 2003 for my own work and thinking about going over to OpenOffice instead.
Fraudulent Microsoft Office 2007 software
Fraudulent Microsoft Office software sent, unable to use, have to repurchase software. No response from sender.
Counterfeit Software
This purchase was the worst I have ever made as it turned out to be counterfeit - not a genuine Microsoft software product. It played havoc with my computer which had to be stripped down and everything reinstalled. The only saving grace was that Amazon refunded my money without any hastle.
Aaaarrrggghhh! office 2007.
Hate office 2007, don't know anyone who likes any of it. Awful.
Hate the ribbon toolbars, revile the document search that starts searching before you finish typing the search term. Painful to use, hateful. Loathsome.
Exel has reduced functionality, fill types etc. are missing or don't seem to work and you can no longer lable graph points properly or edit graph data points on screen. I have validated spreadsheets that give different answers on 97 and 2007 machines. 1997 Macro spreadsheets may not work on 2007. Nightmare.
And it is slow, slow, slow.
No excuse for this, I want my money back.
Almost completely useless - and really expensive
This is arguably - the other contender being Vista - perhaps the worst commercial program ever released by Microsoft or any other company. I must disagree with the reviewer who described this as 'user-unfriendly'. They're wrong - it's actually user-hostile.
Good software is easy to use, intuitive, efficient in that you can achieve tasks with the minimum number of commands or inputs, and reasonably priced. This is none of those things.
The interface is bizarre and confusing, the 'ribbon' an enormous and almost completely useless waste of space, and the whole package utterly non-intuitive in almost every way. And when you realize that for the same money as you'll pay for this single CD in a cardboard box, you can buy a good desktop computer or a reasonable laptop, install something like Open Office, and still have change in your pocket, the entire concept becomes simply laughable.
I have not the slightest idea why anyone, in business or just a home user, would be prepared to buy this. To do so makes no sense whatsoever.
