Rating: - Nothing Big
While there are some appealing tweaks, none measure up to the hefty price tag. If you've got Office 2000, do something meaningful with your money - you can afford to wait on this. Corporate users might want to jump into XP for it's workgroup-related enhancements, but home users aren't going to be too thrilled.
Rating: - Best Office Ever!
Although this product isn't released until May 31, 2001, I am fortunate enough to have obtained a copy of MS Office XP Professional through my company. This is absolutely the best Office interface ever created. I upgraded from MS Office 2000, and XP is substantially better. The ease of use is astounding. Some minor improvements include the spelling/grammar check. Office 2000 and previous versions had spelling/grammar checks that over-did it, but this version does not tend to that. Many more improvements, but too many to list. Definitely purchase this program.
Rating: - slicker, smoother, faster & less irritating
Okay, so here's a 2-minute synopsis of what earned it a 5 for me. I seem to spend half my life doing email, so let's start with Outlook(!) : The new colour-coded calendaring sounds trivial, but it's *damn* handy - makes it easy to fly around your diary and see what's on quickly. The integrated message search is quicker (even with a 2000 messages in a folder!), and Outlook's now smart enough to change the format (rich text, html etc.) of emails on-the-fly without loosing the look and feel of the message (useful when sending emails to people across the 'net, on hotmail etc.). Once you've used auto-complete for addressing, you'll wonder how you survived without it :) The whole interface for Office seems slicker and smoother - less annoying interuptions from pop-up's and easier on the eye. PowerPoint's new animations give ppt's a more professional feel, and the "hit-F1" right-pane help system in PowerPoint (and the other app's) make getting help a snap, and again less annoying / slicker. I've only used the smart-tag capability in Excel so far...I used them to knock up a spreadsheet with my saving portfolio details on in <10 minutes - it get's stock prices from the web and is instantly refreshable anytime I like : cool! The final thing that clinched it was the document recovery feature - if you've ever screamed / swore / pulled-your-hair-out after loosing a critical document in Office, then this is for you .. basically OfficeXP recovers any documents that you were working on but didn't save before the accident happened. For some, this alone could be reason to upgrade. Anyway .. to conclude, Office XP seems well worth the upgrade -- slicker, smoother, faster and definitely less irritating :)
Rating: - Great software
I have to agree with Jared. As one of the beta testers, it does require memory, but the payoff in the design of the software is great. There are new templates and a multitude of other useful tools incorporated in this software.
