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?

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.]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/2724.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/2724.page GMT Anything above this version prevent you to save the mail into a neat rtf file (including the attachment !)...]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/2758.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/2758.page GMT

No more fighting to get a document the way you want it! Ease of use and formatting is excellent!

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

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?!).

Yes I have seen the Airbook, aren't they making another one but to be more beefy or is that a rumour?

I like the Mac for their (seemingly) more professional reputation and design (apart from the fact that they have a lot of functionality also).

I'm guessing the thickness is more for people that travel a lot, carrying the smaller/lighter MacAir seems to be a better choice (if they can afford it).]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/3028.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/3028.page GMT Indeed...

Ooo don't get me wrong... they ARE professional. They are professional ARTIST.
And thinner and smaller is not interchangeable.. it's too wide to be small (read:practical).
If mobility is important I'd go with UMPC - fraction of the cost, same full functionality and power.

Of those listed as options on this poll though ..... probably Office 2007. It has a lot of nice new features that I really like and work well for me. However, not being a really heavy user of Office (to busy fixing things, ya know ) then I'm not sure how it stacks up to the really technical user of it.

Actually, now I think about it I probably use OWA as much as I use Outlook at work due to MS Office's system overhead built in and "improved" with each version


now if you want a proper discussion, lets look at iWork v Office 2007 v OpenOffice ]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/6226.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/630/6226.page GMT
I think that in ease of use, features and accessibility, Office is still the best, I tried open office a few times (for several uses, writing documents, doing presentations and calculations) and it still got a long way in terms of usability.
I did not got the chance to try iWork, but i was reading that MAC users also prefer office over iWork.
