Hm. Well I came back into this forum to find out if MS had made any strides
regarding enabling the old toolbar (in an official sense) in 2007, but I
guess not.

Are you aware of somewhere we can provide some sort of official feedback
along these lines to MS? Thanks much!

Oh, they've gotten plenty of feedback about it already, count on that.
But if you'd like to join the pile:

How do I send PowerPoint 2007 feedback or report bugs to Microsoft?
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00962.htm

The URL on that page is actually good for Office 2007 in general.
