Microsoft Office 2007
Oh, brother. We were all burdened with Office 2008 last week. I've never gotten so little done in so much time. Each program takes so fucking long to open that often I can't remember what I've opened it for when it's ready. Just awful.

I had just gotten used to where all the functions and menus where in all the previous versions of Office, and now they've thrown out the menus and moved everything all over the place and replaced everything with massive buttons. It's not that it's worse, heck, it might even be better, but WHY MUST THEY DO THIS TO ME?

Office 2007 is excellent once you've figured out where the buttons are. It's actually much more intuitive than previous versions if you've never used it before.
Of course, more or less everybody HAS used previous versions, so that doesn't help a great deal.
Seriously though, it's a marked improvement especially in the back office areas - much easier to support, easier to rescue, fits together better than before, is more flexible all round.
But you know, the interface is different, so it must be shit.

I spent much of yesterday reinstalling XP on our home PC because over the years I'd overloaded it with things I then couldn't work out how to get rid of.
So a clean install was jsut easier, I thought. Getting XP back up and running was the easy bit, then discovering that your network card doesn't work automatically and you have no driver disk was more entertaining.
Anyway, got there in the end, spending about 3 hours working out that I'd installed the wrong graphics driver, it worked o.k. on the graphics card but stopped the soundcard working... took alot of figuring out.
Outlook 2007 I like, so much easier to setup new accounts and I think the interface is easier on the whole. I did however accidentlaly do a reply-all already. Nothing too embarrasing though thankfully.

And in typical Microsoft fashion, you can't choose your interface... they force the new one upon you

Sometimes i wonder if people have actually used the product that are so quick to slag off.
Its like when people who have never lived anywhere near london say crap like "the M25, the worlds biggest car park".
