Office 2007

[phishphreek]

Anyone here using it? If so, what do you think?

I just installed the standard version last week. It's not too bad. It's taking me a little bit of time getting used to it, but overall I like it. I have pro, but I wanted to workout the admin installs and whatnot for deployment.

I like the new interface and I like the auto preview when changing the formatting, font/size, etc. They actually did something cool for once instead of adding features I won't use.

It is also easy on the eyes. Uses more resources than previous version though... (big surprise)

I don't like that it can't be installed on Windows 2000. The person who ordered it here didn't do enough research and ordered Office 2007 for the whole company. I have about 40 users who will not be able to move to office 2007 until they get upgraded to XP. Yay! Even more work for me...

I do like that Outlook 2007 will discover the exchange server settings and automatically configure the account settings.

Oh, as far as I can tell... You can't push it out via Group Policy! That makes me kind of angry... I'm still looking into this though. Aparently, they did have the ability, but removed the docs from tech net. I can't find a cached version either.

I also don't like that the default doc types can't be viewed by previous versions without a compatibility toolkit installed. I've set the default save as types back to 97-2003 via group policy until everyone catches up.
