Just wanted to get some opinions. We currently runt 15 machines on Office 2007, and over 30 on XP, however these machines are running Outlook 2003 to support our email Server Software.
Personally I prefer 2007 because of the look and the functionality, however I am still running on XP. Anyone care to put in another point of view?

At first I didn't like 2007 since the interface changed so much and couldn't find the basic functionality fast enough.
However, now after few weeks of use - it is quite useful. The preview it provides on every change is extremly helpful, for example, and once you get used to it the interface is quite easy to manage.
One annoying thing is the new file extensions which does not fully supported by previous versions although we had a thread here recently explaining how to overcome it.
So overall - I like 2007.

Office 97
Anything above this version prevent you to save the mail into a neat rtf file (including the attachment !)...

97 Obelix?? Are you sure??
Formatting documents to the style and standard we require today on a software nearly 12 years old? Surely even rtf documents aren't worth that!

I must apologise, however i still think it's a rather odd choice! No more constant grey! No more blotchy pixellation! All smooth curves and lines!
No more fighting to get a document the way you want it! Ease of use and formatting is excellent!

Pixel ? Curves ? Formatting ?
What use are they in "plain text" format ?
*fake innocent look*
Tell you what....
Bring back the rtf save capability and I'll take 2007 for a date...

The best version for me is 2003, very simple and clean (without the ribbon interface of 2007), so this is the version for me

BJINS...
To tame mail volume problem I have user save the mail as documents so they fall into doc mgmt domain which is easier to deal with. This is why I needed the save as rtf thing.
We upgraded to Office 2003 thinking the feature will be there. I've searched for solution since. Closest thing I got was a russian product called Amber Outlook converter 123. Unfortunately despite the sound product they seems to neglect the entire customer service aspect. I suspect it's poilitical (the official site can not be reached unless I use an anonymous proxy)...
Anyway...
If you managed to find the way, I would forever be enlightedly
*slight bow*
grateful to you..
*smile*

Totally agree with you here Haim, I don't like the interface on the latest version and with the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack for Office 2003, you can't go wrong. 
I had Office 2000 on my old PC at home that I noticed the other day when messing about. I can't believe how bad that looks alone, not to mention 97 (what are you thinking Obelix?!).

Does this mean you prefer Win95 over Vista?
