Slide 5: Office side by side
If you install Office 2007 and keep Office 2003, keep in mind that it won't be entirely seamless to switch between the two versions of each application later.

Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is a worthy upgrade if you need to make sleeker-looking documents and presentations. But you stick to your current software if you don't feel that it lacks anything.
Microsoft Australia announced today that the new version of Microsoft Office will include Australian slang as proper English.
Word 2007's revamped interface and new file format are a big departure from earlier versions. These changes may demand big adjustments from users of Word 2003.
PowerPoint's new graphics features may make better-looking slide shows, but its new file format can require extra steps for sharing presentations.
Excel 2007's radical overhaul is attractive if you depend upon spreadsheets that can display data patterns visually with charts and conditional formatting. Plus, the new interface places formulas and other number-crunching tools within easy reach.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.
Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software is adding dynamic features such as integration of animation, dynamic maps, 256-bit encryption, and improved forms. We've been playing with the beta edition of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
Existing users of Reckon's line of accounting packages have the best reason in years to upgrade with the QBi series. New users should find the attractive pricing of the entry-level versions pretty compelling too.
