 Office Hom & Student 2007, 2007-04-01
I am sorry I purchased this version. I have several years experience with MS Office Suite and this is "dummied" down so much I am having to relearn the programs and how to circumvent the preset actions. All the extra built-ins are probably great for someone with no experience; not for me.
Other than that small problem, it still (almost) acts like what I use on the job.

 Excellent product: MS Office Home 2007, 2007-03-31
I keep our family medical and budget in Excel; we use MS Word for documents and family history. I use Powerpoint for my quilt patterns which I scan into Paint and copy to Powerpoint. So far we have been able to do everything with this software as with the older version we had on an older computer. This product is great! We would highly recommend it. Also, I can't see any limitations on this software when I compare it to what I had at work before I retired.

 Office 2207 DO NOT BUY!, 2007-03-29
Don't spend your money and time on Office 2007 (Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007, ect 2007) if you have Windows XP or Vista.
I tried to install and use Office 2007 and it really messed up my Vista computer and now even older versions of Office (including Outlook, FrontPage, XML Editor 2007 along with a few games) don't run correctly even after Office 2007 was uninstalled due to damage caused in your Windows System Registry.
I spent (listed below) on the phone (toll-free) with Microsoft's various techs to fix the problem and even then I had to contact a "Geek" to walk me through fully removing this software.
MICROSOFT TECH SUPPORT ASSISTANCE
* 4hrs. 23min with Microsoft Office 2007 Tech Support [Jitendra in India]
* 2hrs. 16min with Microsoft Office 2007 Software Escalation Team Support [Jim Cameron in Canada]
* 3hrs. 7min. with Microsoft Windows Vista Technical Support [Jagjit Aheer in India]
* 2hrs. 48min. with Microsoft Windows Vista Senior Support [Shane Daley in Washington]
* 2hrs. 12min. with Microsoft Software Research, Development & Programing [Paul Crawford in Washington]
and the problem was still not fixed!
I then contacted a tech friend of mine in Folsom who works for Geek Squad who informed I should have talked with him first before I ever thought of purchasing the "Office 2007 Nightmare" (as they call it) because it has some serious bugs, freezes and shut-down issues in the core of the program which effects many other software programs installed on your computer.
He also told me that Office 2007 uses a whole new file extension ( .docm & .docx to name a few ) which can not be read or viewed on older versions of Office until Microsoft releases a plug-in that actually works.
I was told that if I want a good, stable, reliable and multi-extension "Office-type" software suite for my Windows Vista OS I should purchase one of the current Windows Vista compatible versions like WordPerfect or most any software other then Office 2007!
Just a word of warning.
I returned this software to Amazon.com and went with Word Perfect Office X3 which came with more software for a lesser price and no headache.

Finding really hard to relearn, 2007-03-29
The new look of the software is really confusing. I'm not a computer expert by any means, but I am knowledgeable enough that my family and friends call me to help them fix their computers and software problems, so I'm not a newbie either. I understand the basic idea that some things are on the screen for you to see, the things they consider to be the most important; but the things I use the most, like frame or underlining are now several click away and you can't customize the menus to what you like. They've put up what they think is important and that's it. If you use other features, you're out of luck... it's hunt and peck every time. You also have to learn to think the way they think. If you want to find a feature, it might not be in the menu set of screens you think. They may consider it a different type of feature than you think of it being, so you have start searching all the different sets of menus to find the feature you're looking for. Also, I like to copy and paste from boxes like this, when writing on the internet, for spell checking... well you can't do that anymore because when you paste back your text it appears in HTML format with all the weird stuff that goes along with it. It might be that I'm just too set in my ways and don't feel I have the time to learn a completely new software to do a simple letter. Maybe if I had the time to relearn everything I might find it easier, but I just don't have the weeks it would take to devote to the study of each product (Word, Excel mainly). I got the software and tried it for several months and went back to my old Word and Excel.

Superb update to an old standard, 2007-03-29
This is the fifth version of Microsoft Office I have used and it is replacing Office XP at home. I use Office 2003 at work. Being a heavy Excel user (for analysis and reporting purposes) I must say that this version is a major improvement in user interface then previous versions I have used. While I was pleased with the 2003 versions improvements with the buffers which helped with the stability of large workbooks (only an issue with large and involved workbooks). I find the ribbons, once used to them, to be intuitive, easier to find what you need and easier to access than pull down menus even when they are hidden.
Most of all I was impressed the first time I highlighted an object and right clicked for a menu, the menu appeared along with formatting buttons which helped save a few steps when changing formatting.
This is the first time I have actually been impressed with a new version of any Microsoft software. While the ribbons to take getting used to, once you do you will wonder why ribbons were not used in earlier versions. Most important is that I check around before I purchased and Amazon had the best price I could find.
