Rating:  - Gigantic problem with this product--beware!
I purchased Office 2007 Premium to upgrade my existing Office 2003 installation. Installation went fine, and I worked with the product for a few weeks. Then I wanted to use some templates--and found out that even though I spent a lot of money to purchase this product, IT DOES NOT COME WITH TEMPLATES! You have to download them from MS Office online.
When I tried to download the templates (resumes, brochures, etc.) the website finds my old 2003 installation and rejects the newer version, claiming that my product key is invalid. There is no work-around for this, and I have yet to find a solution. In other words, if you have a previous version of Office, none of the templates or online content are available to you.
How Microsoft would let a problem like this get through testing is beyond me. It illustrates the incompetence that has become the norm for this organization (check out the Vista disaster).

After giving MS Office 2007 a 6-week good faith effort, I had it removed and Office XP 2003 re-installed. I have never objected to having to look things up in online help, but in this case the trouble far exceeded the benefit..and it never let up. In the field of applied behavior analysis is a concept called "stimulus control" that describes how stimuli in the environment (such as the size and relative position of traffic lights, brake pedals, menubars, icons, etc.) come to shape our behavior, often in very useful ways. Microsoft needlessly changed stimuli throughout their software, rendering ineffective many of their customers' previously fluent behavioral repertoires (e.g., keyboard shortcuts, right-clicks, mouse-overs).
Rating: - Lost Productivity
If you are familiar with prior Office versions and you are a busy person, do not go to Office 2007. You will loose hours and hours of productivity trying to find menu items that you knew right where to find in prior versions. Microsoft decided that they know what a user wants when it comes to using their products. So instead of giving you the choice of using the older Office menus, Microsoft does not give you a choice so that they can force you into the new menu system. Read the rest of the reviews and ask yourself, does Microsoft really care what the users want when they could have easily provided users a choice of menu systems?
