I used Office 2007 for my presentation in Prague last month. I like the new UI and some nice features in PowerPoint and Word to enhance the presentation or make things easier to do. I was planning to do the same for Southwest Fox next week. However, when I tried to do my Agile presentation Tuesday night at Salt Lake City Fox User Group, there were problems with PowerPoint's presentation mode where sometimes the items on the slide wouldn't display at all. So, I've decided to go back to Office 2003 for tonight's Utah .Net User Group, Southwest Fox next week and Germany next month. The problem is that the file formats are not compatable. You can do a Save As and go back to the previous version, but in PowerPoint, it turns everything into a graphic and it can't be modified in the 2003 version. I spent last night redoing my Agile presentation from scratch in PowerPoint 2003. I haven't tried the Word docs yet, but I suspect they'll move over much easier.
