If you use a Windows version of Microsoft Office please participate in the poll to show how popular each version is as of late 2012. I'm sure there are still some Office 95 users around here. As always you can leave your votes in the poll and comment if you have anything further to add!
I have been using Office 2010. I think MS made a huge mistake by ditching menus in Offiice 2007 in favour of the new ribbon interface. They should have kept the menus there alongside the ribbon interface. I know there a free programs which bring back the menus, but surely MS should have just left the menus.
I have 2007 Home & Student, and have been wondering if I should grab a copy of 2010 Home & Student before things become even more cloud oriented. Can you use 2010 in a strictly offline mode, with absolutely no cloud features/communications enabled and no Live or other accounts setup?
I have 2010 installed, do I use it? No. It's there on a dual boot Windows partition on my laptop just in case I might need it.
Good question. Even if the answer were yes, that could be obsolete as soon as the next update or Service Pack comes out. So if you insist on using Office strictly offline, fine-tune your firewall settings. Online Armor for example will also let you control program behaviour.
I've been getting used to 2010 and frankly, it's not as bad as some reviews I've read. But 2003 rocked with power and elegance.
Agree, I use 2003. I won't pay for newer or future MS Office versions, they are too expensive and weighted by many features that I don't need. I'll use 2003 still it will be supported, then I'll find some else solutions.
