Office 2007
Who would be buying a copy of this in any case? Even for free Office 2010 isn't worth it. Just stick with Office 2003 or use Open office and save yourself a small fortune.
Microsoft let slip details about its Office 2010 “technology guarantee” plan yesterday. The apparent PR gaffe revealed that the software vendor would kick off the program on 5 March.

Dunno what you're talking about to be honest - you can easily insert multiple pictures into word 2007 and 2010. Insert -> Picture -> Multi-select some pictures and off you go. Or drag and drop from explorer.
Using word 2007 here I can go to Insert -> Picture, select 4 pictures and press ok. Voila, 4 pictures in my document.
Are you refering to some other method of inserting pictures?

That's a pretty important feature to me too. I'm still using 2003 myself. Notice this blog post describing a bug in how multiple image import works in 2003 though. http://aricsblog.blogspot.com/2005/05/bug-in-word-2003-multiple-image.html I guess they figured it was easier to take out that feature then fix the auto annotation bug.
Unless marketing gets at it and ! will only be available in the Ultimate Gold edition...

2003? OO?
Yeah, and next I'll be installing Windows 3.1 on my PC, ripping out my power shower, handing back my microwave oven and trading my car in for a horse.
