Rating:  - Invincible software 118 sucks
I never recieved the product, tried to contact the seller but they never responded to any of my emails. I finally had to ask Amazon for a refund. Never buy from Invincible software 118!!
Rating: - Bad Product. Misrepresented.
The ad showed a copy of the box, claimed it would be an used but genuine Microsoft product.
It was a burned copy of Office. Obviously, I didn't want a pirated copy. That was why I was attempting to purchase a used copy. I threatened suit, arbitration, complaints, and forwarding the entire situation to Microsoft's legal department, and seller then credited my money back.

Don't be surprised if Office 2007 Excel costs companies millions if not billions of dollars in lost productivity and errors. I would DEFINITELY NOT RELY on Excel 2007 for ANY ENGINEERING calculations or projects that could result in loss of life due to known calculation bugs. Microsoft in my view has a history for screwing over power-users with releases that aren't backward-compatible and require significant re-work for macros or scripts to work right. This was the case for earlier versions of Microsoft Access. Excel 2007 takes the prize in Office 2007 Pro. It's as though Microsoft marketing (and not engineering) designed it specifically for beginners. While this might seem like a good way to capture greater market share, it appears to have been conducted at the expense of intermediate and advanced Excel and Office users.
In most companies, the top 5% of Excel power users perform the majority of data analytics and produce over 90% of the pivot tables and advanced workbooks for everything from marketing database analytics to sales compensation planning and forecasting. It is this group of users that in my view should keep Excel 2003 and avoid Excel 2007. At a minimum, former Excel 2003 users will have to re-learn a hideous new menu system just to begin with. I went so far as to purchase a third-party tool that tries to re-create the Office 2003 menu look and feel. Even the most basic Excel 2007 features seem buggy. If I try to edit a text box, the cursor moves backwards when I scroll forward! It's so bad, I find myself editing in notepad and then pasting back into the text boxes.
The most advanced Excel users rely upon pivot tables a great deal. This is one area that is infuriatingly poorly designed in Excel 2007, and there are significant compatibility issues with earlier Excel versions. There are a few benefits to Excel with regard to number of columns and record/row size, still in earlier versions you could always reference an external text source to overcome the record limitation. I'm not a big fan of litigation but I'd sign on to a class action if I receive an invitation. My advice is to hang on to Excel 2003 until Microsoft engineers can wrest back product control from the dolts in their marketing group. Also, OpenOffice.org 3.0 Calc is a nice product. It has some pivot table features (not as good as Excel 2003) but good enough for the average user. My only sense of satisfaction is that I'm sure the top 5% of Excel power users at Microsoft also despise this latest release if they are being forced to use it under CDOE policy. I would bet that they are using Excel 2003 instead of this dumbed-down monstrosity if at all possible. If you are in business and have a tough competitor with a really smart analytics or accounting team, bribe their IT Director to upgrade to Office 2007 with Excel.

Forget everything you ever knew about Microsoft Office. Office 2007 looks and feels like nothing you've ever used before. If you make the mistake of buying this latest Microsoft disaster you will have to learn how to use your applications all over gain. Why Microsoft decided to produce this joke is beyond me. I've had Office 2007 on my machine for about a year, and I still spend amazing amounts of time trying to find basic tools that were easy to locate on previous Office versions. The folks at Microsoft have managed to take a good product and make it totally useless.
Rating:  - May not be worth the time and money.
Office 2007 has some features that are better that 2003, but nothing I couldn't live without. And be prepared to spend a lot of time relearning the programs. Considering the cost in time and money it may not be worth it to change to the new version. For a real bargain download the free office suite from [...].
