Rating: - * Typical overblown Microsoft product ... This is a typical Microsoft product loaded with stuff that 98% of people don't want, need, or use. I prefer Word 2000 but you can't buy it any more. I had to buy this to put on a new computer which is the only reason I bought it. Also, the Amazon price was the cheapest I found. Rating: - * Not so productive productive software. ... They did a few things right with this release. The new increased cell variation limit is one of those and the primary reason for our upgrade(7 systems all XPP SP3). Another welcome feature was threaded performance increases and the ability for several users to be updating a single document at the same time. We also like the new formula editor. However it now takes three extra clicks to do anything like inserting an image or setting a print area and that's after you know where it is. One user with dual monitors has Excel hang the system and crash daily. Performance in Outlook and Word appear to be the same but now with a clumsy user interface. All and all, if you have used office for a few years and 2K3 is working for you don't waste your money but this is still better than the free alternatives. Rating: - * Office Small Business 2007 Upgrade ... Have mixed feelings about Office 2007. 2002 was much more user friendly. Plus some bugs occured with Outlook express not recognizing my email password, (STILL EXISTS) also had to reload the program because of some issues with Excel It is an intense program and almost requires re-learning the Office program all over again. Rating: - * Upgrade was Perfect! ... Ordered this upgrade due to the very reasonable price from Amazon. Installed the upgrade, with no problems whatsoever. Very smooth upgrade and VERY glad I did this. Highly recommend for older small business users... Rating: - * Worth Updating ... The new interface makes it easier to work around the programs, and the Contact Manager addition to my Microsoft Outlook has proven worth the money. I will recommended for a Small Business User that wants to be more organized and have the tools to prove it.
