It is less than a year since I bought my version of office 2007.
I use it for Outlook, Word and Excel in the domestic environment ie simply.
Is there any real advantage in my upgrading to 2010?
There are users still using Office 97. Only YOU know what is your
criteria for the Office suite and only YOU know what features are
must-haves. Your requirements and likes are probably so numerous that
you won't list all of them and others probably aren't inclined to match
up all your wants and likes to each version. You are the best judge as
to what you want (versus what you think you need).
Go read up on Office 2010 at Microsoft's web site. Go to your local
library or visit their online site and search on "Office 2010". Then go
read "Office 2010 for Dummies" or several other books on Office 2010.
Your time to read 1 or 2 books isn't worth the money you'll spend on the
upgrade? Go grab a trial of it and see if you need it or even like it.
You really have extra cash burning in your pocket that you absolutely
must spend? What does Office 2007 not do for you now that you think
Office 2010 might accomplish?
