 You will re-install Office 2003 within 24 hours of using Office 2007 October 28, 2007

Sorry Microsoft, but your "ribbon" user interface is the most retarded upgrade feature ever. It renders all your Office applications useless. I have no interest spending hours to learn a completely different UI and to recustomize the toolbar all over again (I'm not even sure if it's even possible to customize the "ribbon"). The ribbon is ugly and WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY too big.
My advice: try to avoid upgrading for as long as possible.
 Only supports 1 PC and 1 Laptop per License. January 30, 2007

I called Microsoft to inquire about licensing and sadly, this only comes with a license for a single PC and a single laptop (I'm not sure how they distinguish between the two). However, If you have a home or are a student attending K-12 or University, then you're in luck because you qualify to purchase the Home and Student edition for 1/3 of the price and the ability to install it on 3 computers on a single license sans Outlook.
Microsoft Office 2007 - Standard Version March 8, 2007

I hate this product. Since I'm used to Office 2003 (at work), opening this program and having to look at the childish-looking menu bar was a shock. The layout is irritating, poorly designed, and does not provide sufficient features. To make things worse, this sorry program does not allow you to save files directly to CD. The one-star rating was too generous.
 Dumbed down and harder to use July 29, 2007

The new ribbon design is supposed to make it easier to learn and use. It may be for some new users but for experienced users, it isn't. This version takes away some critical nuts & bolts customization features and many tasks now take longer to perform. This is not due to the learning curve, it is the inherent nature of the way the ribbon works. Once you are familiar with the program, nothing is faster than the old menu structure. If Microsoft added an option to allow users to choose between menus and ribbons, it would be the best of both worlds, satisfying the needs of both new and experienced users. The new version does not run macros as fast however. My recommedation for existing users: keep Office 2003 for as long as you can and consider going to Open Office when Microsoft no longer supports 2003 (unless they restore the functionality in a newer release of 2007).

I know that I give this office 5 stars because I never used the older versions that the other reviewers did. I did have to take the tutorials.
I have really enjoyed the office and it has been a great learning experience. Other reviewers that gave the Office low scores were the ones that had the older version. They had a lot of changes and a lot of new things to learn which they did not enjoy.
I can say that if you never used any other version of office you will enjoy the 2007 full version.
You do have to take the tutorials to get the full benefits of the office.
I have been using the office for all most 2 months at the end of August.
I would recommend this to my friends if they are interested in putting in the time to learn the software.
