Re: Opinions on Office 2007 over 2003 with SBS

And I'm "USING" Office 2003 and 2007. They are just reviewing it and not a true user, now are they?

Hi Susan,
Can you please respond to this article? I've seen this on several reviews of office 2007. I'm not making this up. The article contradicts what you're saying.

I can show you more 3rd party reviews if you like.

Thank you,

Oskar

I see that others share the opinion that Vista in an SBS environment is not neccessarily the way to go at this point in time, what about Office 2007 over 2003?


stick with 2003 for now. If possible, get openoffice or staroffice!
2007 is NOT backward compatible with 2003. On office 2003, you have to download a plugin to get it to see 2007 files. This is on the microsoft site, please spend some time reading their stuff on technet. It's very good information.

for long term file storage, many companies have standardized on adobe acrobat. Please keep this in mind. This is also why ODF is a very good idea. Please learn about this and more at www.openoffice.org. If you want commercial support, get staroffice.

openoffice is free!! It works great, even on terminal server. Keep that in mind when suggesting solutions to clients. We always win bids when we show the cost savings of getting out of microsoft office.
Most small businesses work fine with openoffice or staroffice.
