Yeah, I guess I notice the reports because I'm in these forums frequently.
But the users should still go for a test drive before taking the plunge.

The reports of performance problems are pretty widespread

They are if you search forums and newsgroups but I haven't seen one media
'expose' that blows the whistle about this. ZDNet, Office Watch,
Thurrott's
WinInfo? You'd think there is article there.

| Many people have reported performance issues with Excel 2007, some as
bad

sooner

| | We just upgraded our company to Office 2007 Pro this week and we are
| having
| | lots of problems with the stability of Excel. We are working with
the
| same
| | spreadsheets that ran flawlessly in Excel 2003 but now Excel is
locking
| up
| | almost every 10 to 15 minutes. We are seeing this response on all
of
| our
| | workstations. Each workstation is a dual processor machine with 4
gig
| of
| | memory, 400gig hard drive which is generally about 50% full, and an
| Nvidia
| | 7800gtx graphics card.
| |
| | We are also having problems with the plots which are unbeliveably
slow
| to
| | redraw. Just getting the program to respond after clicking on a
line
| can
| | take 3 or 4 minutes. Granted we often have 4 to 5 lines with 20 to
30
| | thousend point each, but those same spreadsheets worked like a dream
in
| Excel
| | 2003. I cant even remember the last time Excel 2003 locked up or
| crashed
| | with the same class of spreadsheets.
| |
| | We have gotten all of the Microsoft updates but that has not helped.
| With
| | this kind of performance, the program is just not useable. Has
anyone
| found
| | a way to make the program more stable or respond faster? If we cant
| find
| a
| | solution we will have to go back to Office 2003 until these problems
are
| | fixed.
