Default Corporate Upgrade to Office 2007 SP2

Shane: thanks for the comment, and yes the gogs do turn slowly. But the
"powers that be" have deemed it necessary, so we shall see. Yes the exercise
is to collate the pit-falls of 2007 and how to negate them quickly at the
start (hopefully).
What I do know is that Vista is not on the cards, hooray! ;-) and probably
we will go to 2007 just as 2010 comes out, just like when we when to 2003
when 2007 came out!
Thanks again, all the best.

I'm guessing this is not a question of if you should upgrade but what are the
potential problems? As for 2010 and Win7 - of course they may be better,
most companies of this size (100000) generally wait to see how the new
product fares before committing, which would mean now will become 2013 and by
then 2014 will be in the works so...

Passworded documents may cause issues.

Plan for at least 1 days training for every user. Expect productivity to
fall like house prices and recover slower than the British economy.

My Advice: wait for Office 2010. Then roll out Off2010 and Win7 together.

Currently: Office 2003 SP3 applications on XP 2002 SP2
Upgrade to Office 2007 SP2 suite
We are planning a corporate upgrade from 2003 apps to 2007 suite for
100,000+ users globally.
My question is what are the known issues with this upgrade, whether they
are
server issues, application issues, functionality issues, etc.
I have cross-posted this to the usual applications as well as
windows.upgrade and office.misc so I can capture all users of these
applications as well as the network people.
I am aware of the usual new 2007 user interface issues but are there any
problems we can head off at the development stage?
I have reviewed the MS website but am after other issues that MS may or
may
not know about, or wish to keep quiet about ;-)
Many thanks in advance
DeanH
