Personally i think they perfected office apart from outlook in office 97. All the funcationaility was there, as was the polish.
The network i currently manage is on office xp (2002) i see no reason to move to office 2007, i have applied the office 2007 compatability pack to Office XP so they can read and write to the newer format.
To tell the truth the only reason i would move everyone to a newer office suite would be to start the conversion of office documents to an open and compatible format, however as i said this is a long way off. Office XP does everything we need.
The only app i think microsoft did complete/finish in Office 2007 was outlook, it's great for productivity and the management of Email, Calendar and contacts, especially when used with Exchange Server.
