- Usual Microsoft rubbish
My partner, a teacher, has just started at a new school. After being informed that the school uses Office 2007, she insisted that I purchase a copy for our home PC. As a software engineer with significant experience with Microsoft products, a tried in vain to persuade her that OpenOffice is not only free but also a superior product.

Microsoft Office arrived in the office post about an hour ago. So far, five people (all reasonably intelligent) have tried and failed to open the plastic box containing the software. When I get home, I will explain to my partner that she'll find the new software about as user-friendly as the box it came in.

I've given Office one-star because I've used it before and, as a software engineer with at least 10 years commercial experience, I know how bad it is.

- Hesitant before purchase but now very pleased
Having the need to source new software for new computer and upgrade others I searched the reviews on Amazon but was worried to see some not so very positive comments about the Home and Student edition. However need and positive past experience with MS Office products overcame concerns and I ordered it. The good news is I had nothing to worry about, it loaded perfectly and is running just fine. Powerpoint is there in its entirety.
One very happy customer and good value for money.

- Microsoft office 2007
I purchased this product over amazon last week for £69.99 and now its gone down to £59.99 I can't belive it, so not fair. This office 2007 is ok the only problem I had with it is finding half of the things I need to use, as its all it sections of folders. If your saving documents make sure to save it with the drop down box of microsoft 1997-2003 as then you can open up this document on other ps which do not have office 2007. Overall its a good product.

- Appalling
I've spent the past four months trying to write a book using Word 2007 - It has proved to be one of the most irritating and complicated pieces of software that I've ever had the misfortune to use.

- Brilliant so far - an excellent upgrade
I have just received Office 2007 Home & Student and Outlook 2007 to upgrade from 2003 - and after reading some of the reviews here I was initially a bit wary. Thank goodness I took no notice. It's a vast improvement and I have adapted to the new format almost instantly.

First - I decided to upgrade over 2003 because unless you are committed to a new software upgrade you are tempted to go back to the familiar. Or so I thought. In any case - running both does have some difficulties unless you make some registry changes (so I've read) so I opted for the complete upgrade. Installation went without a hitch and all my data was there in Outlook - safe and sound.

Now to the infamous ribbon - it's easy to learn (I've only had the software a few hours and I'm using it as if I'd had it forever) and I do find it more intuitive. I had to look up how to compare documents (I do a lot of marking for students and so comparing revised assignments is a major task for me) and the new version is heavenly. My styles transferred across - and virtually everything I've needed to do (insert pictures, add a border to an image, use a spreadsheet, send e-mails, etc) has gone without a hitch. In many cases I found I'd done it without even thinking about it.

My concession to the old way of working was to add all my favourites to the Quick Access Toolbar (I didn't realise from the reviews that you can add anything at all to this) so I can still one-click on the things I use a lot - just like in 2003. Frankly I cannot understand why anyone would go back to an earlier version after trying this. And the price is sweet.

I am looking forward to exploring even more delights. I wish I had upgraded sooner.
