Eventually I found I like it. Unfortunately you have to go through weeks
of problems finding things. There were days that I swore they had removed
some function from word. Then I'd find it the next day. Once I figured out
that I had to remember that some things are context sensitive things got a
lot easier. 95% of the time what I want is either under "home" or "format"
– as long as I click on the thing I want to change first. My feeling is
that it isn't that the new design is bad, it is that we are so trained to
use the previously bad design. I'm an old dog, but eventually I learn new
tricks.
A great test would be to find someone who never used office and train them
on the new first and have them try to switch. But where could you find
someone like that?

You like the new toolbar look? I ran a beta for a month or so in May (or
something), and I was still kinda undecided about the new toy-like toolbars.

I snatched a copy of office last night also, but sense you convinced me to
do things right I guess I wait for the OS. I have been using the Office
betas and have been quite happy with them.
