  Overall Rating: 1 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:24 Months

  Strengths: I love how they decided to force their new interface down their customers' throats. I'm not capable of deciding what's convenient, so I'm glad Microsoft took the initiative to tell me what works best for me.

  Weaknesses: Though the new interface is pretty and obstructive, it needs to have more sparkles and smooth things. It should make random noises, too. I also miss the talking paperclip. It was shiny. I LIKE SHINY!

  Overall Evaluation: If you don't like to work, Office 2007 is a great way to waste several weeks of your company's time. I really hope Microsoft includes a function in Office 2010 that allows users to randomize the placement of menu options. What's more fun than having to guess where something is, especially when you need to complete a job quickly?

  Strengths: New interface, Office 2007 Ribbon, includes OneNote unlike most other editions, includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote 2007, costs cheap, specially designed for students and home use.

  Weaknesses: Not as feature heavy as other edition of Office 2007.

  Overall Evaluation: Office 2007 is a really great new product and Microsoft has outdone themselves this time. I really like the new interface and the Office "Ribbon" makes thing so much easier. A great improvement to an already great product - Google and OpenOffice have nothing on this great little package.

  Strengths: Great interface, as others say, once you are used to it

  Weaknesses: To adjust some properties in Excel and Word you still have to open a properties box like in older versions of Office--I wish these were accessible in buttons on the ribbon.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a nice program bundle--I only needed Word and Office so it was definitely cheaper to buy this version. You do need to get familiar with the new interface, but it's really intuitive once you do.

  Duration of ownership:1 Months

  Strengths: If you already have Office installed, say, from an OEM Preinstall that came with a New Computer, you only need to enter the Product License Key; no need to reinstall Office.

  Weaknesses: none that I can think of.

  Overall Evaluation: VERY good product, almost the most current version of Office (I guess MS is releasing the new 2010 version ?); but plenty of Rich Features and POWER, especially for Students and Home Office use. PLUS this particular version of the product, comes with a 3-Seat License: you can legally install the Product on three PCs.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: The product came within a week, and was just as promised

  Weaknesses: I did have difficulty verifying the progress of the shipment, but i think that is a factor of the us post office, not the retailer.

  Overall Evaluation: Very pleased with the product. the price was phenomenal, and it was delivered! I would shop with them again. at the minimum, i will always price check with them before shopping elsewhere.

  Strengths: Compatibility with software at school.

  Weaknesses: Compatibility with 2003 and earlier versions.

  Overall Evaluation: After years of using office 2003, moving to 2007 is quite an experience. Major changes were made to the basic layout of the home pages. The idea was to make things easier, but I'm not totally convinced that this is a good thing. Time will tell of this truly is an improvement in the ease of functionality.

  Duration of ownership:14 Days

  Strengths: Ease of access to all formatting / editing functions for the document easily accessed with the tabular setup.

  Weaknesses: Learning curve to find out how to formatNew format for saving - possible incompatibility issues with older versions

  Overall Evaluation: For the price I'm very happy with the product. Nice to have the 'latest and greatest' in a product to ensure having all of the features needed when creating a document, spreadsheet, or slideshow. It's just a matter of getting used to it and mastering the new interface.

  Strengths: Faster & leaner than Office 2003.

  Weaknesses: None yet.

  Overall Evaluation: I was concerned beforehand about dealing with the new ribbon interface, but after 5 years with Office 2003, I had no difficulty adjusting to the changes. Anything not readily apparent from working with the software was easily addressed by using the help function. I actually prefer the new interface to the old one.

  Strengths: It's working great for my hobbies and home based business.

  Weaknesses: A little awkward at first getting use to the new layout from the previous versions of Word/Excel.

  Overall Evaluation: I like the 3 applications to download instead of purchasing it pre-installed on the new computer I just purchased. I would definitely purchase them separatetly in the future. Thanks.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Windows VISTA compatible, full product with media, license to install on 3 computers, reasonable priced, compatible with Office at work.

  Weaknesses: Not much especially with the included $25 rebate

  Overall Evaluation: I got this for my new home PC with Windows VISTA. It came with the CD media which made installation easy. I like the fact I can install this on 3 computers. This is the only reasonably priced Office version as I only needed Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I don't use the included OneNote and at home who needs Outlook when there are so many Web based email around like gmail and yahoo mail.
