Office 2007 has a huge, glaring deficiency that really

Because I am a participant in the Microsoft Partner Program, I have access to something called the Action Pack. It's actually a pretty good deal for small businesses like mine that work with Microsoft technologies. For an annual subscription fee of $299, you get 10 desktop licenses for all of the Microsoft Office Enterprise applications (Including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Infopath, Groove, Visio, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, Project, MapPoint, etc), as well as all of the primary server and OS technologies (Sharepoint, Win2k3 Server, SQL Server, Vista, Small business Server, Exchange server etc.), all of which can be used for your own business' use. For as long as you pay $299 a year, anyway, else you have to uninstall the lot of it.
Still, it's an exceptional value, considering that a single licensed copy of Office 2007 alone costs upwards of $800.
So, I've finally gotten around to installing and using Office 2007, and have been running it for about two weeks now.
Under the hood, there are some neat things. For instance, all Office Documents are now XML files. Actually, a bunch of XML files. The new file extension for Word Documents has also been changed from .doc to .docx, although you can still save your documents in the old format.
If you take a Word 2007 file, and change the file extension from .docx to .zip, you can open it up as a zip archive. When you do, what you see a whole bunch of XML files. the Office 2007 document isn't a "document" as such. Instead, it is a container for a bunch of XML documents, all of which can be viewed in a text editor.
The old versions of word stored all of the metadata such as styles, fonts, footnotes, etc., in the document itself, making it inaccessible to you. Now..it isn't. That's pretty cool, although, having said that, I can't envision too many times when I'd actually want to go in and edit all those XML files. So, it's cool, but...useless for any conceivable purpose for the user.
As for using Office to do my day-to-day work...I don't love it.
I'd like to, but I can't, because Microsoft, in its wisdom, has decided that they don't want me playing around with their product any more. Office 2007 has a huge, glaring deficiency that really just spoils all the new goodies for me.
