IS the office 2010 is better than office 2007 plz tell me
Which is best office (2007 or 2010)?
Are you going to buy office?
Depends totally upon the user. I m not denying the fact that 2010 is better but its costly too, 150$ for Student edition of office 2010. Make your choice 
Go for 2010 beta, and reinstall it every 6 moths. otherwise, if you have BIG pocket, opt for 2010 Pro

Lol I have been using Office 2000 on Windows and OpenOffice on Linux for ages now and personally I haven't found anything that I needed that couldn't be done on either.
There isn't much difference between Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010. The latter is just a "more polished" version of the former.
Openoffice FTW !!!
Both are totally cr$$. I still work on Office 2003, unless its a specific client requirement. I just hate that infernal ribbon.

Exactly what I have a problem with too
!
I got Office 2007 (6 month trial) and Microsoft Works with my laptop. I tried Works and it was poor man's office suite with limitations and feature-thin. I was clueless while working with 2007 as i cant stomach its ribbon "natural" look. Anyway 2003 is much better if one is admant not to use/overlook OpenOffice.org
@OP: Are you planning to buy Office suite or just use your bandwidth?

i got both 2007 and 2010 rtm on xp and 7 respectively. Both are nice but i still like working in OOo 3.2.1
Exactly !
OpenOffice
Now its maintained by Oracle Corporation (Oracle took over Sun if you don't know).
^Speaking of Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystem, FOSS developers are in a dilemma whether they are working for the community or Oracle?
TBH its all in the mindset of casual users who will never use a quality software like Oo.org when he/she can "get" other for free as well; Oo will do the 90% of work done by casual to moderate work but still the first thing users do is download MS Office withput giving any look to others.

Just because of its name and fame.
About the confusion amongst OSS devs, I don't think they're working for Oracle, but the community. The MySQL devs have created forks called MariaDB and one more in order to ensure that Oracle doesn't kill GPL license in MySQL because it is one the leading DBMS providers.
Love the feature where u can directly print to OneNote and save it in various formats
I love the ribbon! it's the best thing that ever happened to Office
^^ u just take time getting used to it after which it is fun 2 use!

having used all office versions as they have evolved, I think 2010 is defintely the best..I m using the beta since it was released and can't imagine going back to 2007.
MySQL and OpenOffice.org both are actually profitable for Oracle even if they keep it FOSS. They won't kill the GPL license. There is a commercial version of MySQL known as MySQL Enterprise server available too.Just because of its name and fame.

Can't say anything about Oracle. It may keep OOo, but MySQLMySQL and OpenOffice.org both are actually profitable for Oracle even if they keep it FOSS. They won't kill the GPL license. There is a commercial version of MySQL known as MySQL Enterprise server available too.
because Oracle is one of the industries' top RDBMS providers.
Well Oracle can't really compete with MySQL in web based servers (PHP-MySQL) among other applications, so I do feel Oracle will keep maintaining MySQL.Can't say anything about Oracle. It may keep OOo, but MySQL

Well you're right. But many distros are replacing the official MySQL server with its forks (MariaDB) and soon an extension for MariaDB in PHP or the existing MySQL will be there/work for MariaDB. So developers need not care what goes with MySQL.
MySQL is still at danger and the MySQL devs did a good job in creating forks. This will ensure that Oracle won't take the step for making MySQL closed source easily.
Guys, go for MS Works. It is better.
Office 2010 is better than office 2007
In some works yes. But Adobe Pro doesn't support creating PDFs from 2010...
Ribbon interface jst needs a bit of learning' - IMO Office 2010 's better tan Office 2007 in UI improvements nd Usability factor.
