Office 2007 Code Named Office 12 is now shipped in 7 different SKU's (Versions). These are Office Basic 2007, Office Home and Student 2007, Office Standard 2007, Office Small Business 2007, Office Professional 2007, Office Professional Plus 2007, and Office Enterprise 2007.

If you're wondering why Microsoft is shipping all of these different versions, It's not just in order to make us crazy. Microsoft is always trying to walk on the doted line between the home user productivity and the corporate scenarios. In corporate scenarios, they strive to provide more value to organizations in order to proof the value of their annuity contracts with enterprise customers. This is why you will always see different versions in Office 2007 code named Office 12. In order to let you choose the best solution to match your needs. In Office 2007 it is actually not always recommended to install the Office Enterprise 2007 edition. That's if you simply need it to work at home. The Office Professional 2007 will provide all of your needs plus many needs you have never thought about, and you will never use capabilities that were initially and specifically planned for corporate, client-server scenarios.

Office 2007 is shipped with a totally redesigned user interface. The new "ribbon" which is the redesigned menu bar got rid of the annoying file menus and gives you exactly what you need contextually to the task you want to perform. On one hand it sounds revolutionary, and it is, but the minute you start working with it (Especially with the amazing new excel if you ask me...) you will find that your working habits are changing and your work is simply done faster. You just have to try it in order to understand what I mean...
