You, too, can have over $150 worth of productivity software for only $680! What a steal!

this incarnation of the office suite seems to be the best yet. i've switched from open office to the office 2007 beta and haven't looked back. i'm sure however when it comes to paying a few hundred dollars or switching back to open office i will humbly take the poor man's route. i really wish there was a suitable alternative to outlook already.

Naysayers beware! This really is the best productivity suite I have seen in a long time. I actually have fun using Word. Still missing from Outlook is an effective use of the task area and a better notes section, but the sheer beauty and on the fly formatting across the entire suite is breath taking.

Ya know, I am surprised with just how much I use OO2 and even more surprised that I don't miss MS Office. I don't use the hard core scheduling features found in Outlook, so Gmail for Your Domain has all I need.

There will always be a downmarket for poor college students and tightwads. Office is for people who are a bit more demanding of software design and efficiency.
