Is it time to change?

(Not sure if this is the right board please let me know if I should switch).

I notice on the most recent podcast that Mr Jelen himself has switched to Excel 2007. I have been happily crunching away with XP (02) for some time now and had no particular desire to change - but I am also an avid reader/watcher of the various Excel resources on the Internet (particularly Mr Excel related) and if they are switching to 2007 then it might be time for me to change too.

I'm sure much of this has been discussed before (though I can't find it using the search functionality) but as someone who has a bunch of relatively straightforward macros from a personal workbook plugged into a customised Toolbar, and as a user of a relatively trivial add-in involving simple UDFs and VBA modules, will a move from XP to 07 be onerous? Is it now time to change?

Shall I emerge from the cave?

Just went back and re-read and saw that you're running XP, not 2003. In spite of it only being one year apart in version numbering for me 2003 was a good bit better than XP. If you can get 2003 BEFORE you get 2007, I'd do that too. However you do NOT want to install 2007 and then try to install 2003 -- bad voodoo.
