I never used Q2005, but liked Q2006. I played some with the test version
of 2007, then bought 2008. Despite everything that may have een said, I
like it. Most of the distaste (as always) is about getting used to a
different GUI, and about the waste of screen space that every new version
seems to produce. For me, 2008 is definitely better than 07 and even 06.
But give me back of most of 06's interface, please.

I bought and installed 2008 a few days ago, only because it was
available her at a very good price. I had planned to keep 2007 and
skip 2008 (I usually upgrade every other year or so).

My perception is that there is hardly any difference to me between
2007 and 2008. Not to argue with you, but perhaps I'm missing
something. I'm curious about what you see in 2008 that is "definitely
better" than 2007.

To me the screen real estate seemed not as bad in 2008 as in 2007, and
there seems to be increased flexibility and utility in the tags/classes
feature.

OK, thanks. To me, the screen usage is the same (at least for the way
I work), and I've never used the tags/classes feature.

Amen to that, but maybe I can get over it.
I bit on the 2008 offer thinking that maybe the securities update had
improved.
No such luck. If anything it is worse. Had 2008 maybe 24 hours and have
still not been able to get an update.
