I like many things about PowerPoint 2007, but I also keep PowerPoint 2003
around for certain tasks because 2007 hurts my productivity in a number of
ways. But I'm expert at PPT, so that's why it frustrates me. I really like
Word 2007, for example, because I'm just an average user there.
Basically, I'd say if you're a new or casual/average user, you'll be very
happy with Office 2007. If there are applications you're expert in, you'll
not be as satisfied with it.
I've heard of some issues with slowness in Outlook 2007 especially. I might
be tempted to wait for Service Pack 1 because of those -- assuming the slows
are caused by issues slated to be fixed then, of course (but I really don't
have any information there. I'd just guess that if it is a big problem, it
probably will be fixed.)
