Having a house full of PC's of varying ages and a mac. I am loathed to buy
more licenses as I already have older pc and a mac version of office.
Get "Open Office - 3" virtually free and run on any machine and save files as microsft versions .doc .ppt etc and vice versa.
I am thinking of stripping vista off my childs new lap top and going over to a linux version and avoid the other rip off that is microsoft security software
 Office 2007 Home and Student November 11, 2008

Upgraded from Office 2003 mainly to keep in mainstream of product. Very surprised by the change of 'look and feel', with a lot of the functionality I have used for years within MS Office products moved or hidden (but still there when searched for, often with more functionality). Fits well with look and feel of MS Vista OS, not so well with Windows XP. Also more resource hungry (definite Core 2 processor with at least 1Gb memory as a minimum). Overall very good product, and the home and student licencing (ie non-commercial) made it an economical upgrade for three machines. Only downside, no MS Outlook (Microsoft oversight or a way to encourage us to buy more expensive version?), so still running Outlook from Office 2003 alongside.
I dislike Office 2007 and will stick with Office 2003 - but schoolkids can get Office 2007 Enterprise for just over 50 October 23, 2008

I work at Oxford university and get Office 2007/2003/XP etc.. free via educational licences, but I choose to stay with Office 2003 Professional. As mentioned by other reviewers Office 2007 is a bit of a pain in the positrons compared to just about all other versions of MS Office that keep to the same basic menu and file format. It takes you 5 minutes just to work out how to load a word document with the new interface, gorgeous though it is. I run many networked PCs at home and at work, and casual users who are Office 2003 savvy don't take kindly when this new 2007 interface pops up. Worst still, almost unforgivable even, is that a Professional version of Office 2007 Student is no longer offered, when even secondary school kids need Access and Publisher as part of the GSCE in IT. Plus no Outlook either. So, great software as Excel, Word and PowerPoint is, this loses Office Student two stars in my book. Another downside is that many schools are likely to stay with 2003, making it hard for the kids to adapt to two interfaces and file formats at home and school. For similar reasons [compatibility] all our new Vista PCs have been reformatted back to XP Pro.
However if you have a schoolkid/student in the house and their academic institution [i.e. School or College] is on the participating list, and most will be, you can pick up the full Office Professional 2007 for them for just 45 [incl postage] via any Microsoft educational software partner. With Office Pro you get Access/Publisher/Outlook as well, for about the price of this cut-down Office Home & Student. If the kids might need OneNote as well then go for top of the range Office Enterprise 2007 for just 55 [there's even Wacom 'educational use' graphics stylus/tablets on offer]. Try for instance Microsoft Partner www.Software4Students.co.uk: you just select the school and input your kids name [who must be on the role-call and live at the delivery address], buy the software and the bare CD/wallet appears in the post. The rather natty CD/DVD is emblazoned with Microsoft holograms and the text 'Licensed by student and facility only'. Likewise you can buy your kids the superb Encarta Premium enhanced Student 2009 for just 14 [retail price 49] - it integrates into Office and gives superb homework help [Encarta encyclopaedia, Maths equations, languages and English literature]. Well now children that even makes Office 2007 seem desirable. For the rest of though I'd save the pennies and stick with Office 2003 for the time being, assuming you're lucky enough to own it.
 What a great programme October 10, 2008

Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition (3 User Licence) (PC)
Just updated from 2003. what a brilliant programme, easy to install and very easy to use. I am not a professional user so this is great for us silver surfers to have. easy to install, easy to follow.
 Another disappointment September 4, 2008

Slower than ever, clunkier, and a weird new menu system detract from this very expensive 'cheap' option.
We returned ours, installed Open Office - amazing value, faster on our installations of XP, more stable and a familiar environment.
Where is Publisher? Why include PowerPoint in a home/student edition? Pointless, really.
MS have shot themselves in the foot, it seems.
