I is "cool" to spit on Microsoft, but I bought Office 2007 there is a month and this software is fantastic. Of course in the beginning we are a little confused by previous versions (I have Office 2003) but it is used and it's nice. The interface is really well thought out, one can visualize in real time the layout changes, the menus are better organized and more readable. And contrary to what I read here and there, and can be read (and saving) in a multitude of formats (not just the Open XML). In short, it is the ultimate in office suite ... but it has a price (amply justified compared to the competition).
