The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Clean, chromeless interface? PDF editing in Word? More intuitive interactions with Excel? Sounds good to me.

    I am still on 2003. I could not get use to the new interface of 2007 or 2010

    For chores office 2010 has some good features... But I don't believe that office 2013 can defeat foxit in pdf editoring.

    Hah, same here, mainly due to cost constraints...plus the whole "if it aint broke dont fix it" thing.

    I will say that I liked 2010's semi transparent ui.

    I've had 2013 since the download window began. Overall it's pretty good and if the pricing for the subscription version is as aggressive as people suggest it could be...i'd be tempted.
