The New MicroSoft Office Suite

As a college student and former IT recruiting intern for an IT staffing agency, I am constantly using the programs within the Microsoft Office Suite.  There are always presentations I need to create for a team project on PowerPoint or an essay or blog such as this on Word.

Most of the versions are compatible as long as you download the updates for the programs or save in an older format.  For those who are just on the go with little time to recheck their files, you usually just save in the default format.  This becomes a problem when you are switching computers and sharing files.

Our entire IT recruiting company in Boston will be converting to Microsoft Office 2010.  In preparation, I tested out the beta version of Office 2010 and compared it to Office 2007.  I honestly did not notice too big of a difference besides the design and feel of the programs.  The biggest jump was when they changed the user interface from their 2003 version to 2007.  Besides being visually appealing, the Office Suite 2010 is not worth the upgrade unless you are using versions before 2007.
