Preference in UI is largely subjective. What works for one person may not for another. The author slams the UI changes in Office, but my experience has been positive. I think the "Ribbon" is genius, but it does take getting used to and you do need to relearn where some things are. But, the organizational structure makes absolute sense to me and the graphical elements do help in navigation. Users who have been upgraded to Office 2007 overwhelmingly like it. Some don't, but most either like it or love it and there is a overall structure is one that you can see and understand as part of knowing where to look. That said, I'm not crazy about the jumbling of menus and options in Vista. That didn't make much sense to me, but that's a different context than Office. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
