Microsoft Office Standard 2007 review

		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		WordPerfect Office X4 Corel WordPerfect Office X4 best fits those who prefer traditional interfaces for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. We found the features rich, but the execution sometimes clumsy.	17 Apr 2008	7.0		£276
		Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition) Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.	08 Jan 2008	7.8		£449.99
		iWork '08 Although Microsoft Office 2007 offers deeper features, particularly for number-crunchers, Apple's iWork '08 is a strong Mac productivity package and a pleasure to use.	23 Aug 2007	7.3		£55
		Google Apps Premier Edition Does the arrival of Google Apps Premier Edition signal the death of desktop software dinosaurs like Microsoft Office? Although the idea is compelling, the answer is 'no'. Not yet, at least. There are many reasons to get excited about Google’s hosted office suite, but there are just as many reasons to proceed with caution.	23 Apr 2007	7.7		£25
		Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is a worthy upgrade if you need to make sleeker-looking documents and presentations to share with others, and Outlook is better than ever. However, you can stick to your current software if you don't feel that it lacks anything.	30 Jan 2007	7.7		£291
		Google Docs & Spreadsheets Google Docs & Spreadsheets beta gracefully merges word processing and spreadsheets within an online service that lets you collaborate with other users.	28 Nov 2006	7.3
		Zoho Office Suite beta Zoho Office Suite beta has strong potential, but it's not yet a final product, and its spreadsheets and presentations applications need more work before you can rely on them.	30 Oct 2006	5.7
		WordPerfect Office X3 Standard Edition Corel's WordPerfect Office X3 is a very good productivity suite with enough enhancements to warrant an upgrade. Microsoft Office users, though, should wait for Office 12.	18 Jan 2006	7.0		£235
		OpenOffice.org 2.0 OpenOffice.org 2.0, the freeware version of Sun's StarOffice 8, is a great deal for small-business users who don't mind browsing online forums for technical support. But enterprises are better served by StarOffice 8.	07 Dec 2005	6.0
