I hate the ribbon bar. I hate the schmaltzy semi-background ([EDIT] that mysteriously disappears in the silver theme). I hate the gay light blue theme. I hate it. [EDIT] I found out how to change the gay blue theme to the less gay (but gay nonetheless) black theme. [EDIT] They just revirginized my system here at work, and they gave me Orifice 2007. I hate it.

John - you seem to be dwelling on this gay issue a lot. Is there something we should be aware of or are you just going to have a hissy fit and shout Gay, Gay, Gay everytime you see the Office interface?

Why? It sure beats trudging through all the drop downs and pop outs. Everything is right out in the open where you can find it now.

I just call 'em like I see 'em. Besides, nobody here would appreciate the other nomenclature I had in mind.

I bought a new machine, which had the full, registered, version of Office 2007 pro installed. I got so sick of it, even though I tried to get used to it for over a month, that I uninstalled it. I now have an illegal version of Office 2003 on that machine. Just let 'em try to sue me! I'll rip 'em to shreds!

Don't be threatened. Just be confident in your masculinity.

There are a bunch of new themes. I'm not a fan of the blue myself. It took me a really long time to learn how to navigate the ribbons quickly. It doesn't seem user-friendly to me.
Blog link to be reinstated at a later date.
It took me about half a day to reach basic proficiency where I knew where all the most common items were and could guess where the others were >80% on the first try. Maybe 3 or 5 days before I'd found everything I ever used, and alot of the stuff that I knew existed in prior versions (because the administrative assistant would use it in the formatting standardization pass) but was never able to find before. Writing documentation all day long sucks, but nothing beats actually using a piece of software constantly for an extended period of time to get fully up to speed on it.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

I *despise* it. Do NOt use outlook 2007, it lost ALL my mail, out of the blue, and all I used it for was a simple mail client. I hate that people send me docx files now, I have to unzip them and read the plain text. I refuse to run that rubbish on my PC.

I've got a mate and everytime there is a pause in the conversation, he says "I hate Frank Sinatra" and stands back and listens to everyone arguing. Works every time.
I used to work in an office full of mad feminists. I used to say 'women, we gave them the vote and look at the world now'. Worked a charm.
