Excellent.... Worth every penny.... Much better than having yearly licences you have to buy now for £50 a year

Takes some getting used to, but is worth it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2008

I found Office to be an excellent upgrade. I must admit the ribbon is new and can take some getting used to. There will probably be a bit of frustration as nothing is in the "right place", but stick with it. Having said that, it does make a lot of features more discoverable. There are things Word can do I never knew about, or maybe they're new features. Pressing the "Alt" key will show the available shortcuts, so they're easier to learn.

Word has extended the footnote/endnote system by adding a fully blown referencing system which makes writing references and bibliographies 100x easier. There are more page layouts to do standard pages like title pages. It also has an equation editor which I found very useful.

Powerpoint has the concept of "Smart art", basically you can create fancy looking lists, hierarchies, relationships by writing a list. Very easy to use and very effective. No more drawing lots of textboxes and arrows to draw basic diagrams.

I haven't really used the other software enough to say much about it. I believe the Outlook performance issues (if you are having them) can be fixed by creating a new PST file and importing your e-mail from your old one. I wouldn't be surprised if SP1 fixes this issue though.

There are lots of new little features that are too numerous to mention, I would highly recommend Office 2k7.

Right I'm a student, and until 30th April go to the website above and pay £38.95 for this software officially from Microsoft, no I'm not talking about a dodgy version. Well anyway if you supply your .ac.uk email address, then you can buy it, if not, then you can't. Its a special promotion offer available to students and maybe staff (you'll have to check on that one) only until the date above, you can get a DVD backup sent to you for an extra £9. I choose to be buy it as downloading it illegally means I'm at risk getting sued and thats the last thing you want being a student.

The program itself is nicely updated, I've only used excel and word and to be honest but you get the rest thrown in too, which is nice. The Equation element in word takes a bit of getting used to as the interface is different from that of the older versions of word etc. I would say after a few days I'm getting used to it but after 10 years or so with the other interface, I don't know which I prefer. It seems to open and close easily, saving and everything else is okay.

To be honest, unless you've brought a new computer/laptop and don't have an older version with a few licenses spare :), then buying this is pointless. I wouldn't upgrade to ultimate or any 2007 office platform, as the older version do it well enough, and even spending an extra £40 isn't worth it as your not particularly getting anything rather than a new interface (in interface, I mean the look of it basically). However if you have brought a laptop with Vista, then it does work so well, just be careful as a student not to over spend, forty quid is a steal but over 500, don't bother.

Any fool can make something complicated. Microsoft do it better.

Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Edition (PC)
MS Office 2007 reminds me of cars in the 1960s: lots of chrome and tail fins but dodgy mechanicals and the switches and handles tended to drop off. Microsoft keeps patching on new pretty features but avoids dealing with the underlying flimsy core of code that supports the labyrinthine structures that its Office components have become. Why is it that computers get faster and more powerful every year but MS programs take longer and longer to load and do their work? Why do they still lock up and crash? Obviously, because they have become vastly over-complicated.

The feature of Office 2007 that drove me to screaming point this time is the "ribbon". Behind its vapid icons lie all the old Office commands, but you have to find them. And, just as you think you've learned the location of the bit you need, it disappears because the ribbon has changed again. As the final master stroke in their conspiracy for pan-global frustration, MS have hidden the bits you use most often in a place disguised not to be a menu.

I use MS products because I have to. If you can possibly use something else, I recommend you do. Alternatively, waste your money and your time e.g. I just spent 2 hours trying to find the cause of yellow underlining in a 4 line business letter. I am still re-learning MS Access, a program I thought I knew, from a book nearly 5 cm thick and it still does not tell me all the ways I can go wrong. Better luck with your work!

Unbelievable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2007

Lets be clear, this won't suit everybody. That said, it is a fantastic bit of software. I am a serious Office user (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word mainly) and would consider myself an advanced user for many years.

The new ribbon interface did take a little getting used to, but within a few hours it's easy to pick up and is actually fairly intuitive. Most of the old keyboard shortcuts still work, which helps, but I tend not to use them as everything can be found very quickly. I also find the ribbon doesn't take up that much space as I have always found that I end up with a few layers of toolbars in Office 2003 anyway.

The additional functionality in excel and powerpoint really stand out for me. In the former the considerably increased row and column chart are helpful, as is the way the formula are handled and can be found. The formatting of charts and other objects can result in VERY professional loooking documents, which is the main benefit in powerpoint. Some of the textual effects, such as perspective, reflections etc are fantastic. They can even be applied to objects such as pictures or smart shapes.

There is so much more control over what is displayed. The only thing I can think of that is missing is allowing embedded fonts in Excel. Other than that, this is a practically perfect productivity suite. It simply makes all others look incredibly basic.
