I received my Microsoft Student at the perfect time, right when I started school. It took a week to get here as promised. I love that you are able to save documents in '97-'03 format. It makes turning in my assignments a lot easier since I go to school online and my instructors have older versions.

Getting Word, Excel and PP in one package at this price is a very good deal. Most people never use or master Access, so it isn't an issue not having it in this software. The database in Works does most everything. Even if you don't create slide presentations, having PowerPoint enables you to view others. The spreadsheet is considerably more sophisticated than Works, but I use them both. Good purchase.

I will admit, I was a bit nervous about using Office 2007 as it was released at the same time as the whole Vista debacle. Fear not. I bought Office 2007 Home and Student edition for my wife who is going to school online. I have been using Office since Office 95 and I think this is the most significant upgrade since Office 97. Previously I had been using Office XP, but after I bought a new laptop with Vista 2 years ago, which I subsequently upgraded to Windows 7 I thought it was time for a change. Office XP seemed to have a few glitches on the newer versions of Windows, namely Outlook not saving passwords and while this isn't Windows specific, it also had issues with the new daylight saving time rules. While this edition does not include Outlook, it is not a big deal for me since I can simply use Windows Mail or Thunderbird.
The new interface is an improvement. Yes it does take some time to get used to especially if you have spent significant amounts of time learning/using older versions of Office. It took me about a half hour to get used to it. Plus the help system is excellent for those hard to find features.
Clippy has finally been banished! I can't tell you how much I hated that stupid animated paper clip.
I would have to say that while the whole suite has been significantly upgraded that Excel and PowerPoint have been improved the most. I used to be in charge of putting the lyrics to songs in a presentation each week for my church group using PowerPoint and I seriously could do it in half the the time now. I took an "expert level" Excel class written for Excel 2002 and had 2007 been out at the time, again it would have been a huge time saver.
The only drawback I can see to this suite is that if you are using Windows XP, speech recognition has been removed from Office and become a feature of Vista or later. I don't use that feature and I run Windows 7 so it doesn't affect me. Also be aware that the new file formats that Office uses by default now are only readable by Office 2007. So if you need to share files with people using Office 2003 or earlier, just make sure to save using the *.doc format, not *.docx.
Some people have complained about the speed on even high end hardware. I don't find Office 2007 to be any slower than Office XP, in fact I find the opposite to be the case. I guess as long as you keep Windows and Office up to date through Windows Update you will be fine.
I would highly recommend you download the free 60 day trial version (which is full featured, not "crippled") to see how it works for you, then you can buy it at a later date. That is what we did. Also, the Home edition can be installed on up to 3 computers, another selling point for me as Office XP was locked down to my machine.
I should probably make it known that I am neither a Microsoft employee or a shareholder so I have no agenda behind my positive review of this product.
Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, A pleasure to use> May 15, 2007

If your interested in merely typing a letter, making a simple chart, or most any relatively simple application that you might engage in related to administrative applications I have found that Microsoft Works will do a very nice job.
However if you want professionalism, very concise detail, customization for your documents, charts, presentations. etc. this software is more than the average home/student/home business needs.
I find this program very encompassing and diversification seems almost endless. That being said, it is not difficult to use as the icons displayed seem to take you right where you want to go. Recommended Highly!

If you need the Microsoft Office basics, but you don't need the Microsoft Outlook email program, this cheaper Home & Student version does the job. It's less than half the price of the Standard version of Microsoft Office 2007, and since I already have Outlook Express with Windows Vista & Windows XP, the Microsoft Outlook didn't matter to me. Microsoft Outlook 2007 also can be purchased separately if you find that you need it later. The Microsoft website has a page that compares their different Office software products to make decision-making easier.
