Finally a decent upgrade to Office
This new version of office has it all. Finally all the promise that we had heard was coming is here. In general all the apps are much improved. My only negative is that outlook takes a long time to start up and needs lots of memory. If you can deal with that, this is a huge improvement over previous versions.
Right out of the box you are going to have to get used to the ribbon interface but once you get it down, it is much quicker than the old way.
Most of the naysayers here are anti microsoft anyway so pay them no mind. If I worked at Sun or Apple I would probably badmouth microsoft all the time too. But I do not and I don't work for Microsoft, so I just use the software, and this was a great upgrade.
The best part of it was the publisher upgrade which is a huge improvement over the last version of publisher. I use it all the time for making flyers, postcards, invitations etc.
Excel, Word and all the others have been commented on by tons of people, but almost noone talks about Publisher. In this version it really is a competitive piece of software to the basic and even some of the advanced Adobe tools. If you could edit PDFs natively that would be great, but because ADOBE is a monopoly, you are stuck overpaying them to edit pdfs. Anyway, you can create pdf files in publisher and save them, which is all anyone really needs.

Worst upgrade ever, stay away
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.

Open Office is free -- get it instead
openoffice dot org
OpenOffice: open source "equivalent"
All the power 90% of you people need, and zero cost. TINY download. SMALL space consumption on drive. EVEN a portable version. Can open and save Microsloth documents
FREE. no licensing hassles. no demonic EULA.

upgrade
The changes to the menu may be user friendly but for the experienced user it is a big adjustment.

It only gets better
My primary interest in the upgrade was Outlook. I needed a contact manager but didn't want to spend the money or time on ACT!, Gold Mine, etc. This new version offers all the heft and power I need. The upgrades of the other components seem worthwhile as well.
