That's great to know because not everyone upgrades their windows straight away or until sp2 comes out. Performance is key when looking at new software.

Hopefully, Office "vNext" will also run on XPSP3.

One major problem though - Office 2007 kills spell checking in Outlook Express.

So if you get Home and Student edition which does not include Outlook, it will remove an important feature from Outlook Express with out providing a replacement, madness!

Surely you guys could have ensured the old format dictionaries remained on the computer, rather than just replacing them!

You are right about this. I was a bit surprised by this. Asking around here, most people recommend moving to Windows Live Mail which has a rich client you download too. This has a full spell check, is free and is superior to Outlook Express. Not ideal I know but that might help you.
