Office 2010 nearing RTM, free upgrade for some 2007 users

I still use 2003 at home. We "upgraded" to 2007 at work last year, and i STILL hate the ribbon interface. Give me back my menus, so I can find things again!! I couldn't even find the "help" button on 2007.

this meaN M$ excited to sold office 2010 like win 7.....office 7 is quite good but saving extension is (docx) is very annoying to novice user. hope this will be very easy to use in day to day work.

I'm using beta 2010 Office for 2 months. I think it just improved version of 2007. Nice visual effects and ofcourse it works like a charm! I suggest everyone.

MS office really started to suck after Office 2003. I don't like 2007 and from what i've seen of 2010 i think i'll like it less.

Sure are some pricey software, I don't think I could ever put money down like that.

Reasonable prices, I hope the new Office uses less RAM and is faster than 2007. 2003 was perfect just need a nice skin.

I love 2007, got it from school for like 60 bucks and if '10 is priced similar i will purchase as soon as i can.

Have you heard of pschmidt's ribbon customizer - it gives you the old UI back as an additional option - it works really, really well

There is a free "starter" edition that works perfectly well.

I wonder how much difference there is going to be between 2010 and 2007. My guess is there is going to be minimal changes to the program itself, a new user interface, and more themes to its programs (powerpoint, excel, etc). Thats Microsoft for ya.

This is very good news as I just purchased Office 2007 a while ago. I didn't even know there was a ms office 2010... i'm gotta go to check it out lol

No recipe7, you are far from being the only one using '03.

Unfortunately some of my clients have upgraded to 7 so I was on the cusp of byting the bullet; this makes chewing a bit easier

There is a truth. When you need a complete software MSOffice is a guarantee. I tried OpenOffice, but when I had to fight for a simple/copy paste I understood many things.

The pricing of Pro version is nuts. Thank god I'm still a student.

Really happy with the 2010 so far though.

Been using 2003 for years without needing anything more. This is a pretty good incentive for me to finally get Office 2007 and move up to 2010 as well if it's worth it.

I hate it when companies do this sort of thing, giving facilities and offers to the SOON-TO-BE_CUSTOMERS but forget about the ones who already are using their services, no one thinks about these people, shouldn't they get some piece of all the giveaway....

I see its very easy to use.....I think its a user friendly.....keep it up. M$ making good tools and user friendly tools.

Thanks; I will have to check that out! Hmm, the hard part may be getting them to let me install this on my work machine.

I got a 3-license pack of the Home & Student edition / Office 2007 for something like £60 on Amazon.co.uk

If it wasn't for that, I would still be using Office 2000 which is the last one I actually purchased.

i might have to take up this offer. Converting .docx to .doc is a *****...

Does it have any other requirements such as capacity and driver versions?
