Summary: Excel 2007 Recovery group
Comment: I just wanted to concur with all the other testimonies I have read here concerning the angst one experiences when using Exhell 2007. I am an engineer who makes his living using VBA based exhell programs. Not one of them is compatible with Exhell 2007. I had to rip office 2007 out and put 2003 back on my machine.
I should have known better actually. My IT department where I work has not switched over to 2007 and I work in a company that employs over 20,000 people. In fact no major engineering company I know of uses excel or office 2007-Northrup Grumman, Harris Corp, Lockheed Martin, Rockwell Collins, all use 2003.
It's really hard to believe that a company would actually remove features and capabilities from a product and then sell it as an upgrade. Isn't that fraud?

Summary: Worst Ever
Comment: This is possibly the worst software I have ever encountered, disjointed poorly presented an absolute disaster. I wouldnt buy this software with someone else's money, let alone my own. The only people that will appreciate this package are those who have nothing else to do than play with the unfathomable and garish "Ribbon", gone are the quick and easy links, gone is the locical progression. If you want to accomplish a task quickly and easily look for another package.

Summary: Excel 2007 is CLEARLY not as good as 2003
Comment: I use excel every day & night since at least 6 years in my job (investment banking, 80-100h hours a week on excel).
Excel 2003 was a lot better as it is now: some functionalities have been removed, you have to use your mouse very often without the option to make it via your keyboard (example to apply styles to your cells), all previous shortcuts have been removed (alt+e+g for example doesn't work anymore!!); So forget about efficiency. Nothing that I would call really useful is better in Excel 2007. People who don't know how to use it will say it is nicer, but in the end, it's just a better marketing of a worse product.
I got a new computer on my job with Excel 2007, and I bought the 2003 version personnaly, so I'm sure to have it for the rest of my life.
As regards Powerpoint, when I open 2003 documents on it, all bullets and a lot of formating gets crazy, and people opening my document back in 2003 are just not able to work with it normaly anymore (document masks, bullet points, etc...) it can be very frustrating!
Outlook 2007 is better as 2003 though (specially because of a indexation search which allows you to find emails rapiddly, but I not sure if this hasn't be also added to the 2003 version eventually), but still the alt+e+g shortcut is really missing since you usually have to copy paste as a 'text only' some oddly HTML formated text from the internet.
Good luck to all the people stuck with 2007!

Summary: Annoying interface and Twice as Slow!
Comment: The new menus/toolbars take up a lot of screen real estate. And, despite what Microsoft says about speed improvements, I just did some tests (I uninstalled '07 and installed '03) and calculations that took 5 seconds and 52 seconds (in Excel 2007) now take 3 seconds and 27 seconds (in Excel 2003). It's almost twice as slow.
