How is MS Office 2007?

Definitely worth it...

You will find features that were there since Office 2000, but not being used since they were hidden in menus.

Just for a tiny moment there i thought you were being sarcastic

Other than being able to read those 'x' format docs that 2k7 generates by default...

not seeing why to upgrade from 2K3.

i use openoffice writer all the time fulltime now was tough to move from o2k7 but ooo has this auto complete functionality which is much better than what office offered. o2k7 incidentally has completely removed autotext

Almost all users I have seen are impressed by the GUI. If you remove GUI, you might as well use Tex.

Dunno man i been using that proggie since the DOS days..hasnt changed too much imo...still only use 20% of what it can do.Are you also using vista for this 'experience' too

Well office 2k7 is good , but from business point of view it makes no sense. No one needs its its new features. Heck , in my dads office in High Court they still use Redhat Linux over thinclients and OOO 1.0.3 , and are happy with it.

So one should consider upgrade only if you need the new features!!
Note: This doesnt apply for home users!! you know what I mean

its more usable. makes doing things easier. i had prefer o2k7 over anything else any day... but i hate the missing auto text feature.

you can make Word 2k/3 read the 'x' formats by installing a plugin / utility provided by M$. Its up on their site! Am too lazy to search for it

 

[Sushubh]

i think the convertors are still in beta...what i am waiting for are the plugins for ooo.

I upgraded Office 2003 to 2007 a few months back - hated the interface - rolled it back. Saying almost everyone loves the new interface is incorrect.
If it were so tools like this one wouldn't be developed. I don't see the point of spending years getting familiar with something to turn it on its head overnight, not unless you're accomplishing something radical by making this change.
