 Disappointed February 12, 2007

Last week February 6, 2007 I installed MS office on my computer. The Excel spread sheet program crashes every 15 minutes. it would not let me finish my work. I contacted Microsoft using the Resource button inside the Office drop down menu and got a clownish response 'we are sorry we can not help you' and gave me a link to email my problem for $49.00 fee. I am so sorry I chose MS Excel. Is there any alternative spread sheet program out there?
 Extremely Slow February 10, 2007

After installing Office 2007, I found that the program is exceedingly slow. Whenever you need to save a file, it takes forever to list the contents of a directory, and fancy new features like the reference mangement in Word take multiple minutes to display dialogs.
It seems like computers should be getting faster not slower, and Microsoft has managed to turn my $3000 Core 2 Duo desktop into a very very slow machine. Thanks for all the bloat Redmond.
 Office 2007 integrated for Tablet PC Users February 10, 2007

I find it interesting to note that no one has commented on the easy Tablet PC inerface that is now coordinated with the new office. Handwriting recognition all over the place, easy access with your tablet pen. The ribbon is a time saver as it shows you the changes as you run your pen over the icon.
Highly recomended for Tablet Users. Especially One Note.
 Incompatible with older versions!!!! February 9, 2007

Office 2007 products are incompatible with older versions and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to run Office 2007 suites or components and components from an older version, in my case Office 2003, on the same computer. Installation of Office 2007 is usually not possible until all earlier versions of Office suites or components are uninstalled. Reinstallations of older components are then blocked. For example, I had to uninstall Office 2003 Student & Teachers edition before Office 2007 Student & Teachers would install. Since Microsoft has eliminated Outlook from this suite in 2007, I thought I would just reinstall the 2003 version--the installation seemed to work, but the program will not run.
Save your money and don't upgrade February 7, 2007

I seel lots of glowing reviews and discussion about the big new feature, "The Ribbon". I participated in the Beta of Office 2007 and found it to be a bit more interesting to use than previous versions. You have to learn a whole new approach to Word and Excel to effectively use the ribbon. For my way of working, the ribbon is not an improvement but more of a hindrance or annoyance. It also takes up lots and lots of space on your monitor. My preference is to use full screen mode where I see just the page I am working on with no menu distractions or tabs. Just a nice clean sheet. The office software is monstrously huge and with the exception of Excel, the programs run slow as molasses on my 3GHz DELL. Outlook 2007 is not included in this version, which may be a good thing. It was the slowest of the lot when I used it extensively at work. Message previews took forever to appear after changing folders.
The problem seem to be that MS wants to keep adding feature after feature and "conveniences" as they deem necessary which bloats the software and makes it drastically over complicated. At the same time, they seem to have paid little attention to improving the user experience. Software needs to be smooth and responsive with a clean intuitive uncluttered interface to be a productivity enhancer.
Office 2007 is just the opposite. I'm back to Office 2000 (uninstalling the yucky Beta wiped out my entire previous installation of office, thanks Microsoft), and you know what, Office 2000 may not have the bells and whistles of 2007, but it works just great and produces excellent documents and spreadsheets. I see no need to upgrade and it would probably be wiser to buy MS shares with your hundred odd dollars as you can guarantee the world plus dog will simply have to get this new stuff or they will feel like they are sooo behind the times.
My parting advice: Let MS work through another one or two iterations of this new interface and it may then be worth spending hundreds to upgrade,m as long as they make it a pleasure to use. Say more ... iPod like?
