Upon first glance, Microsoft Office 2007 can be overwhelming for users immersed in the 2003 version of the software bundle. The new graphic user interface, known as the fluent user interface, is immediately so far removed from what users are used to using, it takes some time to get used to it. However, once a user gets the hang of it, the fluent user interface proves to be more interactive and easier to find what you need to do than the familiar GUI of Microsoft Office 2003.

Office 2007 is about productivity and bringing together all aspects of the software bundle. Office 2007 succeeds where Microsoft Office 2003 failed by making it much easier to access and input files into one another to create an overall project within various components of the program. This proves particularly beneficial for businesses and students looking to make an impact in their respective projects. By being able to instantly interweave documents into one another, you cut down the frustration and aggravation of having to figure out how to do it right.

The varying levels of Office 2007, beyond the Student and Teacher Edition most of us are familiar with, give everyone a chance to enjoy just what they need from the bundle. Instead of being stuck with various programs you will never use, you can narrow down exactly what you need and purchase a smaller bundle without overspending on software that will sit idle.

Overall, Microsoft Office 2007 proves to be a worth update to Office 2003. The interface, above all else, offers a clean and productive way to utilize the software. Word, Excel and PowerPoint - the most frequently used software in the bundle - are quicker, more succinct and easier to use than ever. If you are have been waiting to purchase an upgrade or make the purchase, there really is no other reason to wait to jump on board and take advantage of all Microsoft Office 2007 has to offer.
