Best Version of Microsoft Office Yet
Innovative new interface, featuring a "ribbon" that makes it easy to find the commands you need. Other new features and bugfixes.
If you're used to earlier versions of Office, you'll need to relearn where some things are. Many new features are only useful to businesses with a Sharepoint server.
Posted Apr 5, 2007 - The first thing that stands out about the new Office is the new interface. One of the biggest problems with past versions of Office is that so much of the functionality is hidden from the casual user. By replacing the menus with a "ribbon" of icons in this version, as well as a lot of new graphics, Microsoft has made it much easier to discover and use Office's features. The effect is impressive; it sets a new standard for user interface design. Beyond the interface, however, the improvements to this version of Office are modest. The biggest changes are the introduction of a new application (Accounting Express), and more business collaboration features (for corporations with a SharePoint server). However, Office still basically does what it has for over a decade: provide users with a well-designed and tightly-integrated set of office computing tools. Should current Office users upgrade? If you're using an older version of Office (e.g., 97, 2000, or XP), it might be worth shelling out the money. However, if you have Office 2003 and you're happy with it, there's nothing dramatically new here (except for the cool new interface). Whatever your opinion of Microsoft is, it's hard to deny that this is a fine product. Highly recommended.
