Most IT shops would install a test version of xl2007 and then test their
applications in that environment before making any decisions on upgrading.

I am absolutely astounded by the number of people who seem not to have done
this, but instead dove into the shallow end head first.

Obviously you would want to test the compatibility of moving a file/app
back
and forth as well.

the first article should be interesting, but don't stop there.

I'm considering upgrading some of my machines to Office 2007, I have
2002 and 2003 running on other machines.

My main concern is regarding compatibility of my custom apps. I don't
merely mean binding the right object library, I mean Office 2007 is
supposedly a radical reinvention of Office (if you believe the hype)
and perhaps a lot of the methods which worked for the older versions
might not have parallels at all in the new one.

I'm not expecting someone to write me a treatise on the subject from
this newsgroup, but would appreciate pointers to some good web
resources that discuss this issue.

Thanks
