Re: Vista & Office 2007 on new student laptops

Jason,

We've decided to go to Vista on new machines and hold off on Office 2007 as we feel the changes to Office offer a greater challenge to our entire community than the incremental change to Vista.

We are struggling with how to move to Office 2007. Lots of training may be required with little benefit to the education that happens here.
