"Overall interface is the only difference." This statement wildly inaccurate and misleading!

There are many substantial differences between Excel 2007 and Excel 2003. Your organization may incur major costs in converting to Excel 2007, especially if you have a large number of spreadsheets that are linked or make references to one another.

The user interface is entirely new. You will likely find it takes you longer to do your work. The "learning curve" is substantial. It is very much like learning a new product. On the other hand, you may find some of the new features valuable after you have learned Excel 2007.

Some features, such as pivot tables, have incompatibilities between the two versions. For example, Microsoft states: "PivotTables in Office Excel 2007 cannot be made interactive in earlier versions of Excel, and Office Excel 2007 does not downgrade the PivotTable version when earlier-version file formats are saved."

If you publish excel tables to the web with the "Save As HTML to publish HTML", know that Excel 2007 makes major changes to this feature. You may have to change the way you work with this feature.

Other features have been removed and are no longer available in Excel 2007.

Note that this site provides a marketing answer. As such it is incomplete since it does not present "negative" information or show adverse impacts, such as major costs associated with adopting Excel 2007, may have on your organization.

Another answer is located here Add-ins.com and is also given below.

Note that this site, too, provides a "biased" answer since the site is from a company that sells "add-on" products for Excel 2007. But this site offers a great advantage to you: it has a table which lists specific features of Excel and shows the differences between the two versions and the impact of adopting Excel 2007. This site states that it includes information derived from user postings on news groups.
