Learning Curve provides opportunty to get off of Office Bandwagon
The major investment individuals put in software is not the $ amounts to purchase, but the hours ,weeks, & years of time it takes to learn how to master the product. I have spent years working with Excel , Access, Word, and PowerPoint. O-2007's new interface put me back to--if not day 1, week 1. I will have a lot to learn to approach the level of competence I have with O-2003. The new Ribbons seem a lot less flexible then the Icons & Menus. I am not happy with this product.
Seems to me like it is a good time to see what alternatives are out there.

have not received a working product
I received a product that was for setting up a new computer and asked the seller if this was the correct product before opening it. They said yes and to open it. I attempted to install it and it says there is a corrupt file or missing file on the installation disk. I emailed the seller and they said they would send a replacement disk immediately. I have never received it to date. I sent an email last week saying I had still not received the product and have not received a reply.

MS Office 2007 is a productivity black hole
If you have never used MS Office before then ignore this review, because you are unlikely to be bothered by the issues raised here.
As an advanced Excel user for nearly twenty years, I have to say that Microsoft has rolled out the software equivalent of new Coke.
Many professionals learned spreadsheets back in the 1980s when Lotus 123 enabled tremendous advances for ordinary business users. One of the great strengths of Microsoft Excel, when it became ready for Prime Time, was its ease of use for legacy 123 users. At that time, 123 was THE spreadsheet program for business and Excel was a newcomer trying to take market share.
The latest version of Office is like a punch in the stomach for experienced users who have invested thousands of hours over many years mastering Excel, Word, PowerPoint and other software staples. I have not noticed the problem with Word so much... how hard can one make typing, after all? But new Excel is a productivity disaster.
Does the Microsoft brain trust honestly believe that users hunt around with their mouse to execute spreadsheet commands? The "ribbon" seems well-suited for that purpose and little else. Any keystroke commands or muscle memory that you may have developed over the past two decades... forget about them. Need to put together a last-minute graph? Order out because you are not going to finish before dinner. Whoever made the decision to NOT provide legacy keystroke support should have their head examined.
I sincerely hope we can look forward to a service pack release to bring back "Office Classic." Office 2007 may include features that, some day, I will come to appreciate. But unless and until I find a need for them, I am downgrading.
