Streamlined User Interface Get better results in less time with Ultimate's streamlined user interface that helps you create documents faster, more easily, and more intuitively. Reduce the time and frustration of learning new software with commands that present the right tools when you need them. Improved picture, charting, and graphics tools let you produce better-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations and a large library of standard charts, quick formatting tools, and SmartArt diagrams make it easy to include rich and stunning visuals and charts.

It also includes Groove, an innovative application that lets users create and customize Groove workspaces in minutes and invite colleagues, partners, and customers to join-- all with enhanced security and without requesting IT resources. Groove stores all your workspaces, tools, and data right on your computer so there's no need to connect to the corporate network to access information. You stay productive whether you're working in the office, at a customer site, on the road, or from home. This software also keeps copies of your workspaces and files, which are synchronized across your own computers, even if they are not online at the same time. Effortless Collaboration Ultimate 2007 lets you collaborate easily with colleagues, partners, and customers--all with one program. There's no need to switch tools when you need to work with people outside your organization. In addition, increased support for Portable Document Format (PDF) and XML Paper Specification (XPS) file formats helps ensure broader distribution of your documents with others. Manage Notes and Information Ultimate 2007 includes OneNote, a digital notebook that provides a flexible way to gather notes and information, powerful search capabilities so users can find what they are looking for quickly, and easy to use, shared notebooks for teams to work together more effectively. It enables greater efficiency while mobile so you can gather and view notes and other information on a Smartphone or Pocket PC mobile device and sync it with your OneNote notebook on your portable computer. In addition, OneNote enables you to gather all needed content in one place, regardless of data format, further simplifying information exchange between colleagues. Create and Manage Content Ultimate 2007 provides tools that help you create and manage content more efficiently and effectively than ever before. Use audible and text alerts that notify you of specific changes to monitor document changes and gain greater visibility of the most up-to-date project information in Groove. The new Instant Search in Outlook helps you quickly find e-mail messages, while Excel makes it easier than ever to analyse data with powerful visualization options. You can also compile and track information from different sources in Access, allowing you to filter data when you need to. When it's time to analyse important data, Ultimate 2007 lets you visualize key data trends using conditional formatting, which includes improved data bars, more colourful gradients, and icons so you can format data based on specific rules and easily identify key data trends with visual cues. Stay Organized Outlook features a new To-Do Bar for organizing tasks, appointments and e-mail messages flagged for follow-up. You can also view tasks on the calendar alongside your appointments. Uncompleted tasks roll over to the next day and accumulate until completed. To help save time, take advantage of the preview feature, which lets you view proposed changes to your document while you're working on it without having to repeatedly search through layers of menus.

Improved Security
To help save time and protect your work, Ultimate 2007 helps you keep your e-mail more secure and reduce electronic junk mail. Outlook includes an enhanced junk e-mail filter to help reduce electronic spam and protect against potentially harmful attachments, and security enhancements to help prevent "phishing," a fraudulent e-mail attempt to trick you into providing financial or personal information. This allows you to spend less time troubleshooting problems, or scrambling to replace lost files or data, and more time enjoying a productive computing experience.

Right I'm a student, and until 30th April go to the website above and pay £38.95 for this software officially from Microsoft, no I'm not talking about a dodgy version. Well anyway if you supply your .ac.uk email address, then you can buy it, if not, then you can't. Its a special promotion offer available to students and maybe staff (you'll have to check on that one) only until the date above, you can get a DVD backup sent to you for an extra £9. I choose to be buy it as downloading it illegally means I'm at risk getting sued and thats the last thing you want being a student.

The program itself is nicely updated, I've only used excel and word and to be honest but you get the rest thrown in too, which is nice. The Equation element in word takes a bit of getting used to as the interface is different from that of the older versions of word etc. I would say after a few days I'm getting used to it but after 10 years or so with the other interface, I don't know which I prefer. It seems to open and close easily, saving and everything else is okay.

To be honest, unless you've brought a new computer/laptop and don't have an older version with a few licenses spare :), then buying this is pointless. I wouldn't upgrade to ultimate or any 2007 office platform, as the older version do it well enough, and even spending an extra £40 isn't worth it as your not particularly getting anything rather than a new interface (in interface, I mean the look of it basically). However if you have brought a laptop with Vista, then it does work so well, just be careful as a student not to over spend, forty quid is a steal but over 500, don't bother.

Cost again !!
Yet again a very nice piece of software, but Microsoft are still living in the early 90's re. price.
Office and Vista Ultimate cost £765 together. Think about that for a moment and compare it with a 2gb/500gb/quad-core PC and a 24" monitor for the same price. We've reached the stage that just the OS and the Office suit cost as much as a top-end business PC. Simply unbelievable.

There's a lot of talk of Microsoft declining in its two core markets and the reasons are obvious. Vista and Office 2007 are not as well regarded as their predecessors yet together cost as much as two complete Dell business computers to run them on. Boggles the mind.

If Microsoft want to kill piracy just dump the WGA rubbish and use the saved money to reduce the price of these products.

Unbelievable
Lets be clear, this won't suit everybody. That said, it is a fantastic bit of software. I am a serious Office user (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word mainly) and would consider myself an advanced user for many years.

The new ribbon interface did take a little getting used to, but within a few hours it's easy to pick up and is actually fairly intuitive. Most of the old keyboard shortcuts still work, which helps, but I tend not to use them as everything can be found very quickly. I also find the ribbon doesn't take up that much space as I have always found that I end up with a few layers of toolbars in Office 2003 anyway.

The additional functionality in excel and powerpoint really stand out for me. In the former the considerably increased row and column chart are helpful, as is the way the formula are handled and can be found. The formatting of charts and other objects can result in VERY professional loooking documents, which is the main benefit in powerpoint. Some of the textual effects, such as perspective, reflections etc are fantastic. They can even be applied to objects such as pictures or smart shapes.

There is so much more control over what is displayed. The only thing I can think of that is missing is allowing embedded fonts in Excel. Other than that, this is a practically perfect productivity suite. It simply makes all others look incredibly basic.
