Ofcourse, all that promised developing power still has to be actually delivered and even then will be utterly useless unless widely adopted. Which in turn will only be possible if large investments in time, money, blood, sweat and tears will be made. Since it's unlikely that you'll be able to get a company wide Office 2007 license for, say, EUR 50 and do nothing more dramatic then: setup, next, next, next, finish.

Perhaps developers would better serve the community if they would improve on existing means. Whatever they are.

Which in itself is a message to both customers and software houses alike.
