"Installed and uninstalled the same day"
Pros: Pretty to look at
Cons: Downright scary if you're looking for anything familiar
Summary: I downloaded Office 2007 and installed one lazy afternoon at the office. After a few minutes of using Word 2007, I was struck with the terrifying realization that I would have to learn some new terms--"home" instead of "file," for example--and would have to relearn where to find the customize and option selections. I started to panic. I am in a small office and we don't have the luxury of time or money to go relearning everything. We have used Office 2000 since first buying it and have seen no good reason to upgrade.
I quickly uninstalled Office 2007 and went back to Office 2000. I only lost one afternoon and the feeling of panic soon left. The change is simply too radical. Maybe we'll dink around with it later, but for now we have work to get done.
Besides, Microsoft would let us use Office 2007 for free until February 2007, then it would be time to pay the piper. We'll stick with Office 2000 for now. We have Open Office installed also, just in case evil things begin to happen.
