Welcome to Office 2007

I attended the Vista / Office 2007 Launch Event in Rochester NY recently. The event itself was awful - too crowded, no wired network, very slow / useless wireless, underpowered computers, crashing demo's, great eye candy (software, anyway), and almost useless swag, EXCEPT for:

1) A ball point pen that glows led red
2) a free copy of Office 2007 Pro (and, Groove 2007, but, who cares?)

Finally got around to installing the stuff. New UI, probably new features, and Excel is S..L..O..W

Yes, slow. Amazingly slow. Lights up both cores on my overly-hot Pentium D Dual Core 3.2GHz 3GB machine slow. Editing a text box on a chart is an exercise in self-controlled SLOW.

Sigh ...

You get on the list by having a gmail account, and me 'inviting' you to be a contributor.

Got one yet?
