As for Win 7, I also find it a very good OS.
I used Office 2007, back when it came out. I didn't care for it. I've been forced to use 2010 a couple of times wth "weird" spreadsheets that would not load under 2003, even with the converters. I have a new laptop for a conference room which came pre-loaded with the trial. I might convert it to full.

There are a few features we might use, if we used an Exchange server for our e-mail. But since we're not, it just seems silly to upgrade. And I can find legal copies of 2003 for something like $50 or less!

One of my neighbors does CRM and he was "shocked" to find we're not using office 365. Really?
