I am trying to get used to it, had it for over 6 months and still I am not that wrapped, I need to constantly click on the top right green office button, it works well but I hate the layout, takes to long to find something you want to use, for an experience office user it doesn't make it faster, they need a classic view, tabs suck in Office.
To be honest I haven't tried to find if there is a way to revert to the old Office look. |

Depending on what your IT admin do, there will most likely Office Group Policy running within the network, plus maybe other content that loads from another server as addon's within Office such as document templates etc. This will only affect the startup of office, once its loaded it should be fine.
Another thing you need to think of too of computer build. Your personal computer is probably a lot higher spec'd than your work one, I sure has hell know mine is lol.
With Office 2007 itself, I am becoming to like it a whole lot more. Really when it comes to it, times change and so does software. We may not like their direction, but there is a time where we have to stop whining about it and deal with it. But on the other hand, I like learning new stuff. |

| Office 2007 is great once you get used to the new layout...I've been suing it since it was beta...the new layout makes it much more productive to get things done. |

I normally like new stuff, that is why I have tried to put up with 2007, just unless you have a good memory to work out how the microwankers were thinking for Word 2007 it takes to long to use the features, having to search through the tabs to find something, only to find out a common used item was hidden on a drop down on one of the tabs, wankers.
I do however think Powerpoint, and Crappy Access haven't been hindered by tabs, but then again I hardly ever used them anyway, you would still have to pay me well to use Access.
2007 is so inconsistent Publisher and Info Path etc looks so 2003 as they don't use tabs. |

| It is more productive but you first have to learn how to use it. I like the idea behind the strip at the top and the fact that all you have to do is point over a style to see what it looks like instead of selecting all then clicking to see what it would look like, |

As I am out of that game these days, what was the headaches, from my poor memory some of the old versions of Outlook required Microsoft mail server to get it to work properly, once Mail server was setup properly it was a piece of cake, I think Mail Daemon worked ok on a network but shared contacts/calendar etc didn't work, if you wanted something like that on the cheap you bought a cheap Lotus package back then.
I can't remember the Lotus package name, I am sure someone will remind me fast, I remember you could network it for a few hundred dollars for two computers, cheaper than you could purchase one Microsoft Office pro licence, and forget about buying a Microcrap Mail server cheap, I think that was the main reason we sold and maintained Mail Daemon. |

Teehee. Im just a lowly end user.
From what i recall, they are using an older version of Exchange Server (have all the new licenses apparantley, just not rolled out)... problems with where the actual mailbox itself "lives" (i.e. here or in Sydney). Its a monster of an email system tho, they used to circulate stats of how many thousand spams/day were being blocked.
They got around it all somehow. Then they went to live windows mobile devices over GPRS for the exec for their international travel haha.
They've also been tearing their hair out this week with M$ response to daylight savings. Some pretty average workarounds came out of that lol. |

I agree 100%
Sure there are some great features, but overall I'm not pleased at all.
I'm just about at the point where I want to go back to XP. Normally I'm a fan of new stuff too. |

| only just started uning it about 1 week ago, had it for ages, but never installed it as I was running vista and dual booting to XP that still contained all my old documents and stuff and accessed email and all other assoc office stuff there.. was oriface 03. Now I am soley on Oriface 07, outlook is sweet, still getting used to the layout of the rest of the package, but I use it infrequently here at home and work is still running 03 so no huge call to learn what I don't need right now. |

Using it much more now, thinking Open Office is looking better by the minute except for the Powerpoint part and the fact it hasn't got the only good thing from Office 2007, "OUTLOOK", which except for the fact it isn't free s**t on Thunderbird, which I pushed myself to use for years, I like legal and free.
My missus was happy that I got rid of Thunderbird, now the problems of transferring addresses and email from Thunderbird which doesn't appear to be "totally" compatible with anything other than THUNDERCHUNDER. |
