    Hm... What's the purpose of this? Anyway I owned the Home and Student edition of Microsoft Office 07 because that's all I need and it will not rip me off :D.

    Home and Student, because at the time it was the best deal ($50 per license). Then the Ultimate Steal came around. Probably a better overall deal at $60 per license and all the extra programs, so I probably would have gone with that. But it's not like I've ever used Office outside of what Home and Student included, anyway, so the $10 saved might be better off anyway.

    I'm trying Open Office in Win7, and although it's not bad I still like Word/Excel better - they just seem more polished. And ironically, Word seems to do better with display of .docx documents, which it says it the Open Office XML Template. Since I can keep using Office with no further cost, I probably will.

    I got the standard edition, but wished it came with Microsoft One Note 2007. That isn't bad, since my dad's laptop came with a free copy of Microsoft One Note 2003 which is practically the same.

    NOT at all pleased though with the frequent crashes that occur after I exit out of a document.

    Got Office 2003 Professional running on my old XP machine. And Office 2007 Standard on my Vista machine. I really like 2007 and I would have dropped 2003 but 2007 ran like a dog on my old hardware.

    Home and Student, and YES!!! I'm really annoyed by it :( --- but since there's apparently nothing we can do about it, I just try not to look at it. Is the Ultimate Steal still available? If so, how do we get more information on the current offer?

    Another excellent add-on is Microsoft's Office Labs Search Commands. It comes in handy if your just moving over to Office 07, or if you just can't figure out where a command is in the Ribbon UI. ;) :D

    .docx files are Office Open XML files which were developed by Microsoft for MS Office 2007: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML

    OpenOffice.org uses the OpenDocument format.

    The names are stupidly confusing though.

    I use OpenOffice since I can't afford MS Office :(

    Ultimate, through the It's Not Cheating program. At $75 AUD, it's great value if you're a student, and more importantly, doesn't have 'non-commercial use' in the title. :p

    (I must admit I was pretty amused by the complaint in your initial post when I first read it at Whirlpool.)

    I totally agree. I favor Office 2007's menu system much better, as I can now find all the tools to edit stuff much easier. They become time-savers very quickly.

    Edit: Oh goodie, thought I was the only Office Standard user here... :D
