Re: Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 WHY???

I b*tched about the change as well. It's not that I am against change but I just didn't like the ribbon.

Well, it's been about a week since I got my new comouter with Vista and Office 2007. Slowly but surely I'm getting used to it. I haven't done a whole lot that involves the new interface but *so far* everything I've needed has been very easy to find.

I've spent most of my computer time this week trying to get things set up the way I want it and get my programs installed. I intend to spend more time with the ribbon next week. Funny thing is that at work I find myself trying to do something the "new way" on my work computer that is running Win XP and Office 2003. And IE6 - UGH!!

Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Progress always means that someone is upset.
