[Info] How many of you still use older versions of Office?

Office 2003 is here. And I don't need any support - it just simply works...

I use Word 2002 SP3 (Office XP SP3). I have the final Works Suite (2006) that includes Word 2002.

I can't stand the ribbon. I don't know what I will do when I get a new computer sometime this year. I don't want Word with the ribbon.

I still use Office XP (2002) on my Windows XP Pro system

I too do not like the ribbon.

I am looking at OpenOffice or LibreOffice as a replacement.

2003 Office and Visio, Still does everything just fine.

Even though I have been weeding off to Linux, there has been no real substitute for Visio.

Office 2003, Office 2007, Office 2010 on different machines. I much prefer Office 2003.

Libre office on linux, and I use that more than any of the others.

I tried LibreOffice a while ago, it just looks/act the same as OpenOffice. And it still requires Java. So I went back.

The ribbon can be hidden. Which makes it work similar to a traditional menu. From there you can customize the Quick Access Bar to the point you rarely even need to pull the ribbon menu down, especially when you know a few keyboard shortcuts as well.

Office 2000 here.

No complaints.

Office XP here (on Windows XP).

Remember, Office upgrades are hardly "vital". For the vast majority of people, there's no need to update it. As long as converters for older versions allow people to open "new" version's files, there's even LESS incentive to update.

Don't prefer the toolbar changes in the later versions.

Office 2007 at work and nothing at home.

I love the ribbon. It exposed so many features front-and-center that I had no idea existed or had to click through many toolbar buttons/menus/context menus to do.

The ribbon is very very confusing and annoying as well,
I hate it. It looks VERY childish, silly and goofy....

Im thinking about OpenOffice, but it loads very slowly sometimes because it is Java based, and Office is not. And does not have any email client included unlike MS Office.

I will just stick with Office 2003.

From a security standpoint, I dont really care if MS will not support security patches for older versions as I rarely open up or receive attachments....And have all macros disabled.
