Anyone has it?
If so, how do you like it and have you notice any big time bugs?
I like the fact that Excel has increased the number of rows and columns it has and am womdering if it's worthwhile getting it.

If you do any bookkeeping, mathematics or do some heavy duty columnar type work that is cumbersome in MS Word, you can use Excel. It was the major tool for when I worked as an engineer. I've set up whole plant simulations on it and a complete bookkeeping system for a small business that my wife ran in Baton Rouge.
I now have the bookkeeping of our housing association on it. My wife keeps a monthly/yearly ledger on it that I set up for her. Before that, she'd do a double entry ledger completely by hand.
It'll do some fairly heavy duty database stuff, and I find it FAR more user friendly than the really heavy duty ones like Access.
I set up the church database on it. It's far easier to go to a directory from Excel than from Word. You can lay out where you want all the entries to appear, etc. and end up with an MS Word directory. It's far easier to make the corrections, etc. in Excel though. You can easily search for things and sort things in Excel.

Actually, we were kind of hoping you would get it and find the bugs for us...

I consider that comment kind of funny. Access is a very light duty database. That it why it is part of MS Office.
A better database is MS Visual FoxPro and even better is MS SQL. |

I work in IT and I've asked around with other IT Pros. The general consensus is "don't upgrade to Office 2007 unless you find that 2007 has a particular feature that you need".
At this point, Office 2002 or 2003 are more stable and will suit 99.9% of the people out there. Office 2007 adds some bells and whistles, changes the interfaces some, but most people won't need the additions and you will lose more worker productivity trying to teach them the new interface than it is worth.
My company is sticking with Office 2003 running on WinXP until at least mid-2008. We'll re-evaluate it then.
Hope that helps.
Stay nude.

I use OpenOffice
It's free, does just about everything that MS Office does for my needs..
And it's not Microsoft!

We upgraded to Office 2007 recently and have not found any serious "improvements'. Mostly things are just changed around but in effect , do the same.
I agree with the above, don't upgrade to Office 2007 if you already have Office 2003.
One bug which has carried forward from 2003 is in Excel. Sometimes if a cell is clicked on the selected cell is stuck and when I move the mouse away from the cell it holds the selection and just makes all cells that the mouse moves over also selected. The only way I found to stop it is to move back to the original cell selected and repeatedly press the roller wheel.
