Most of the organizations I have relations with ( University of
Washington, Law offices, Design firms, etc ) either don't want to
upgrade from Office 2003 or having upgraded, turned around and
downgraded if they are allowed to. Although I live in Seattle, I live
or work in the real world ... not the "MS bubble."
Time is money and MS's newer products are real time wasters for people
wanting to get things done.
I can't say I have ever heard anyone who prefers MS's latest offerings
over their earlier ones.... other than the security aspects. Many
people put up with them ... but that's about it.
But everything and everyone has its die hard advocates. Sounds like you
are one.
If MS's new toys work better for you... that's a good thing ... but
don't demand that everyone else just doesn't know what they like... or
what works best for them.
Consensus isn't hard to spot... and MS's sinking profits won't be either...

Needlessly confusing, bloated, slow...
Do you have any data to confirm that the "public" thinks this, particularly
of Office, which is what we're talking about?
