 Forced into Change, Moderately Happy October 12, 2008
I was basically forced to change from Office 2003 into 2007 when my computer crashed taking with it all installed programs (Microsoft actually had something to do with it ;) which I took as a sign from above (Bill Gates?) that I should bring my software a little up to date.
After several weeks with the new software I am still undecided whether this was the right move. Frankly, I have yet to find a single function which would really make a difference.
The new layout is fancier but this is not what I expect - I need quick access to rather basic functions instead of dozens of functions the purpose of which I will never discover. Let's face it, I need my computer for writing. I can create an odd table every now and then but that is the limit to my computer skills. Within this fairly limited set of needs I found the new Office to big to handle.
Obviously, I am to blame to some extent, I got used to doing things "my way" over the years and now "my ways" are no longer accessible or I have to trailblaze across allegedly "intuitive" software. My basic problem is that the new Office knows too well what I want when I don't want it at all (still haven't mastered the tricky art of numbering within a single Word document starting from 1. several times).
I couldn't avoid the upgrade forever as my students started sending me essays in the new Word format which I could not open any longer but if I could I would probably be happier with the old one. And this is my conclusion - if you already have an older version of Office and it works, don't change it. It just isn't worth the money and the bother.
Could have been better October 12, 2008
Objectively this product is neither as good or as bad as many of the reviews here state.
It is overpriced although there can be few people on the planet who are not eligible for a discount in some form or another. It is bloated with features that don't make a lot of sense and quite why they have moved everything about is beyond me.
However there are not many things it can't do and it does repay a bit of time learning its functionality.
It is worth looking at some of the open source alternatives before you plunge in and whether it is really an improvement over 2003 is a moot point.
 Usual Microsoft rubbish September 4, 2008

My partner, a teacher, has just started at a new school. After being informed that the school uses Office 2007, she insisted that I purchase a copy for our home PC. As a software engineer with significant experience with Microsoft products, a tried in vain to persuade her that OpenOffice is not only free but also a superior product.
Microsoft Office arrived in the office post about an hour ago. So far, five people (all reasonably intelligent) have tried and failed to open the plastic box containing the software. When I get home, I will explain to my partner that she'll find the new software about as user-friendly as the box it came in.
I've given Office one-star because I've used it before and, as a software engineer with at least 10 years commercial experience, I know how bad it is.
Hesitant before purchase but now very pleased September 2, 2008

Having the need to source new software for new computer and upgrade others I searched the reviews on Amazon but was worried to see some not so very positive comments about the Home and Student edition. However need and positive past experience with MS Office products overcame concerns and I ordered it. The good news is I had nothing to worry about, it loaded perfectly and is running just fine. Powerpoint is there in its entirety.
One very happy customer and good value for money.
 Microsoft office 2007 August 21, 2008

I purchased this product over amazon last week for 69.99 and now its gone down to 59.99 I can't belive it, so not fair. This office 2007 is ok the only problem I had with it is finding half of the things I need to use, as its all it sections of folders. If your saving documents make sure to save it with the drop down box of microsoft 1997-2003 as then you can open up this document on other ps which do not have office 2007. Overall its a good product.
