Software Reviews of Microsoft Office Professional 2007 UPGRADE
Customer Review: Incredibly slow
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had every version of office and this is the first time I have unloaded the program after installing. It is so incredibly slow that I went back to Office 2003. It doesn't help that they have an advertisment show before it opens each module. Outlook is the worst of all and I have no intension of using it unless they can improve performance. What a disappointment.Customer Review: Good Product Just Got Better
Summary: 4 Stars
Initially, I was going to wait to upgrade after reading so many negative reviews. After using it, I think it a great product and the graphics are excellent. It took me less than 5 minutes to decipher the new toolbar and locate some functions, but after that, no problems. I've never been on a learning curve, with an expert certification, it took me no time to learn these programs. Overrall, I would have given MS Office Pro 2007 five (5) stars, but they failed to upgrade the toolbar in Publisher. I did not get that. Great improvements to Outlook-color scheme, views of contacts, etc. The transition of upgrading from 2003 to 2007 went smoothly. Microsoft goes above and beyond, when it comes to customer support. It's worth the investment.Customer Review: Vista doesn't measure up to XP
Summary: 2 Stars
Having suffered through Office on Win98 - ME - 2000, I was actually pleased with Office XP. Vista is a letdown. Two major oh-no's:
- The help is useless. Searching for a unknown term or reference produces a long list of possible articles, but the searched term may not show up in any of them. I don't have hours to puruse through mindless unrelated articles. XP help highlighted the searched term; it worked fine. Why did they ruin it?
- The location of various menu items is scrambled. I don't mean 'rearranged', I mean scrambled. Drawing in Word or PowerPoint is an exercise in frustration. It's one menu to create an object, a different one to flip or group, etc. I'm sure the new arrangement makes sense to someone, I'm just not sure that someone is playing with a full deck.
I'm still looking for redeeming features. I'll update this if/when I find some.
Customer Review: Office 2007
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great program. It arrived in a timely manner and was easy to load.Customer Review: SLOW as mud - don't do it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I installed Office 2007 as an "upgrade" from Office 2003. Word and Excel are OK - the user interface changes in Excel are a little annoying, but the XML capabilities (for pro version) are necessary, and I wrote it down to natural human resistance to change.
Outlook 2007, however, was so slow as to be unusable. The thing literally took 2 minutes to open (that's with a 2GHz chip and 3G of RAM) and the normal operations, while I'm sure I'd become accustomed to the slowness after a while - just aren't worth the wait.
