RE: ui "improvements" need some improving

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I just upgraded from Office 2002 to Office 2007. I really want the 3D look
back. I detest the flat, cartoon-like look of Office 2007. Also, my eyes
get tired faster looking at these new screens. At the very least, please
make the double chevrons very crisp and clean instead of fuzzy and jagged.

Also, how do I tone the brightness down? The Office 2007 screens are not
using the Windows theme I created to keep my eyes from having a
"snowblindness" effect that looking at bright screens causes my eyes after a
couple of hours.

Thanks,

Kit

Did you all even run these improvements by UI groups? I can't tell you how
frustrated and upset my clients are at things such as taking away the "File"
item from the menubar. At the very least, is there an option for "classic"
menus? Major UI overhauls at this point in Office's life cycle don't do
anything but alienate the users who have been with you the longest. For some
of my clients, this frustration is the proverbial "straw that broke the
camel's back," and they're seriously considering a switch to Google, Yahoo,
and other free email and productivity programs.
