Upgrade Office 2007 to Office 2010

P

Pat Garard

G'Day All,

I am running Office 2007 Pro on my (main) Vista Partition - soon to be
Windows 7.

I am running Office 2010 TP on a (small) Windows 7 RC1 partition, and will
continue to do so (with the soon-to-be-Public Beta) until 2010 is released.

The only editions of 2007 that include OneNote are Student and Enterprise.

Yet I have discovered "2007OfficeEntTrainingNotebook.onepkg" that will NOT
run in 2007 Pro, but is VERY USEFUL in 2010 TP - AND ...

.... all editions of 2010 will include OneNote.

I had previously dismissed OneNote as a 'toy' - useful for Students and
Enterprise Executives - but if it can implement this kind of impressive
package, then not only is the package impressive - so is OneNote.

So much so that I have downloaded the OneNote 2007 Trial - I get a 60-day
start in transitioning to Office 2010 using my CURRENT office documents and
teaching manuals (I'm afraid I won't be buying the trial - I'm an early
adopter and will upgrade to 2010 instead).

I am suggesting that some form of discounted cost for the OneNote 2007 Trial
(that can be added to 2007 Pro etc) be implemented in the run-up to the
release of 2010.

In fact Microsoft could supply an 'optional' update for registered copies of
2007 through Windows Update.

It's not that I want to rob Microsoft of Revenue - but what a marketing
tool; what PR value!

It seems to be impossible to find any information about OneNote 2010 upgrade
pricing/availability. That's probably for the best as reading these threads
here reminded me that with 2007 I don't have to deal with the obnoxious
ribbon. There are no improvements possible that would make mw want 2010 with
the ribbon, even if it was free.
