Lots of good info, guys.
I appreciate all of the feedback.
At this time, my interest is waning.
The "pro's" for upgrading:
1. Better performance, more stable.
2. Now's the time to make an update, as we have a "license share" option available from work for the current version of office. (I'm running an ancient version).
The "con's" against:
1. Sounds like its a PITA to save files directy on the desktop (my bad habit
)
2. I'm hearing that "classic" appearance isn't available. I cannot stand the "Vista" appearance. Maybe I'm old school. Maybe I just want function.
3. Time & $$$ to install.
I'll continue fence-sitting until something pushes me in one or the other direction.
Thanx again for info!!!
