Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student - 79G-00007

Some painful areas: Equations in old documents - very painful. Editing - very painful. Awfully difficult to find your way through all the pretty pictures to do what needs to be done. It honestly looks to me like all those other reviews must have been written by Microsoft employees. The old software was so effective and easy to use, I was delighted to EXPECT that this would be even better. My high expectations were brutally dashed by the artists at Microsoft. I would guess that the head honchos at Microsoft ordered their software people to make changes FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE. What a train wreck!! I might add that the reviews on BUY.com also suffered in credibility.

I recently purchased this for my daughter's computer. It was delivered as promised and we have had no problems with the software. It was a great experience all around.

This was purchased for a college student who has not much interest in technical details. She was able to load the software with no problems at all and it has worked great with Windows Vista. Very pleased with the price from Buy.com and the ease of installation was an added bonus.

Excellent office suite for use in the home with full office capability. You get Excel 2007,PowerPoint 2007,Word 2007, and OneNote 2007 for for half of what you would pay for any SINGLE item. The new "Ribbon" is great.

I bought this for Onenote mostly but I'm glad I have the latest versions of the other software as well. This is a good deal for those who don't need "professional" versions. I don't think there's really any difference that I can see in the software. Onenote is pretty damn good. I haven't found any other software that comes close although if feels like it could be developed even further. For instance you can't free rotate anything. You can rotate at perfect 90 degree angles but that's all. If I didn't need onenote I'd just stick with sun's openoffice which is free! But I use onenote every day and it's pretty awesome. I'm surprised no one's made a comparable product to compete with it.

I love the new setup of MS Office 2007! It was a little hard to get used to at first but after going online and viewing some of the demos, I know where things are. Love it! Great buy!

Until I tried Office 2007, I was fairly certain that Word products were the spawn of something unholy. Word 2007, however, is the best ever. Its one drawback is that there is a real learning curve to use it (that's why a 3 for ease of use), and I might never use all of its functions because it is loaded with amazing features. That aside, once I got my balance, I found power and grace at my fingertips. So if you are looking for great software at a reasonable price, this is it.

The software is stable and feature-rich. HELP is generally useful, but occasionally frustratingly inadequate. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint users should be prepared, my colleagues say, for 30 top 60 days of learning when years of habits do not transfer easily to the new interface. The interface does have the potential for improving productivity of power users.

I am extremely pleased with my ordered product, Microsoft Office 2007, and Buy.com. I am pleased with the prompt responses, eg. notification of order received, tracking of order data, great price, free shipping and will order again when the need arises.

I bought the Microsoft Office 2007 software, and discovered it very difficult to migrate from Microsoft XP. Worse yet, Microsoft has added a new extension name for the file - Word has been changed from .doc to .docx, thus making it almost impossible for people without Office 2007 programs to open my new documents and spreadsheets. In retrospect, I would NOT recommend changing from Microsoft XP to Microsofot 2007!

After years of working with WordPerfect and Word, my office staff loves the new Word Office 2007. There is a learning curve, but once you get the basics down, you will find the new version very satisfying.
