I just downloaded it, because I had some free time. I installed it in a winxp virtual machine. Took a bit longer to install than office 2003, but I expected that.

My initial impression with Word 2007 was "Gah." But then after clicking around and getting familar with the the new menu system, I understood why they went that direction. As it is now, even Word 2003 pros get lost in the sea of menus and sub-menus. It looks like they aimed to help that problem, and so far I am optimistic.

I am trying to figure out why they default to blue text though. even in the print preview its blue.

I may change my opinion as I use it in a practical situation. I'll have several papers to write this quarter, so I'll see if I can't use 2007 for at least one of them. Then I'll know for sure how I feel about it.
