Office 2010

[pasag]

Surprised to see so little fanfare re: the new office. I did some research on the ipad before it got released and there were over 500 articles mentioning it in The Age, despite that fact it wasn't to be released for another month here. Yet for a program which virtually everyone in the world uses to some degree....nothing.

Also love the fact it's coming out on mac, no more open office or office 07 thorugh vmware fusion.

Anyways, anyone tried it yet?

 

[GIMH]

No. Are they introducing new file formats like they did with 07 or will it stay with the docx, xlsx type? So cbf having to covnert everything.

No new file formats, not a whole lot of changes from Office 07 really. The big new thing is the live collaboration stuff, similar to Google Docs but more features. Btw pasag, you could always get Office 08 for Mac (Mac OS equivalent of Office 07 for Windows).

Moving to this and Windows 7, instead of XP and Office 03, on our school network in September. Expecting chaos when people can't find the save button.

Just ask the kids to help you.

XP and Office 2003 are both fantastic pieces of software. Hate Vista and Office 2007. Windows 7 is really good, so hopefully Office 2010 is good as well.

 

[GIMH]

Office 07 is so much better than 03 it's not funny

 

[silentstriker]

Really? I immensely hate the interface.

07 is great.

Not really a fan of 08 for Mac. Happy enough to use 07 in XP through fusion.

Well I found 07 in particular excel to be much better than 03. Of course even though I can use same shortcuts in 03 I can't see directions.

Vista is junk

I've just changed to Windows 7 and the difference is marked

 

[GIMH]

07 is so much better than 03 for the work I do and the documents I create. That's what I'm basing it on.

And I find Excel easier with 07, much like Sir Arse

 

[Dasa]

Yeah once you get used to things being in different places, 07 is much much better imo.

Agree so much. Can't find a ****ing thing in Office 2007. What was wrong with the usual "File, Edit, .." and other drop-down menus? No, they have to go and **** with it and put in that useless big button at the top-left and you can't locate a thing when you need it. Assholes. I hate Microsoft so much.

 

[GIMH]

God forbid change for the better

 

[PhoenixFire]

Got Vista. Hated it. Changed back to XP.

Got 2007. Hated it. Changed back to '03/

Everything so much better now.

 

[NZTailender]

I'm possibly the only person in the world who actually likes Vista.

Nah I quite like it too

Go on cribbage, ban me

 

[GIMH]

Don't mind Vista, just a bit slow, certainly for navigation it is far superior to XP.

Really can't get my head around why anyone would prefer Office 97-03 though.
