get used to what? as far as I remember I have a choice in technology I use
well I'm using Mic. Office 2007 for 3 months now on daily basis, especially Excel, Word and Outlook and nothing impresses me there
and progress, if I'm happy with an older version, so be it. |

My brother installed a copy of it on my computer when he came up to visit a few weeks ago. Just kinda went ahead and put it on. lol.
Not sure if I'm pissed about that yet, or happy. :p
Haven't used Word since I apparently got it, but it sure looks different. I'll comment on how much I like it once I've used it for a reasonable amount of time. |

It was through the MSDNAA Program. I didn't even know about it till they sent me an e-mail with the login credentials. Here's a snippet of the e-mail:

Anyway, I just went on there, and found out MSDNAA don't offer Office 2007, so I'm left with the decision to buy. And my finger is itchy... |

| I love the MSDNAA Program. Through my school, I have access to all MS operating systems, including their servers. I also have access to viso and access, just not the regular office pack. |

| MSDNAA access is usually given only to students in top tier engineering or other technology related programs, so Margs may not be eligible. |

$64 for us for a full license.
$22 for a 1-year license.
Oh, and if you get this but aren't a student, and they check you, you'll be liable to pay Microsoft $899. So no funny business. |

Office 2007 is a fine piece of software. While Microsoft may not be the best company, and some of their products may not be the best (and some downright suck, like say - Vista) - sometimes credit is due, where credit is due, and Office is a nice program.
2007 made some of my larger-reports last year a MUCH easier task to write, espeically when I have 40+ sources in a document, cross-references, etc - some things in 2007 became an instant breeze that would of been giving me a headache in 2003.
I really wish MS would realize that their strength is in products like this and made Linux versions of them - same goes for Visual Studio and the .NET Platform (although there is Mono...but its not the same) |
