will next office follow office2007 design style?

because i find it hard to use and buggy so I hope they will discontinue it
and go back to user inerface that the resto of the world uses, or at least
give the user an option to choose...

but if they will continue to pursue it this direction then I guess i should
force myself to get used to it...

Getting used to it now will mean you'll be more prepared for it when your
business upgrades. Everyone else will be whining about the changes and
you'll be the one who's actuallyetting work done.

Yeah I know what you mean, but the way i see it, the user interface was
changed in a way that is more beautiful and more appealing to begginers but
less productive for experienced users. It does not feel like an upgrade but
a downgrade to make it easier to newbies to use office programs. It lacks
advanced "move away the glitter - let me work" mode. The more I used it the
less I like it. So I'm hoping the next office won't be experimental but
something that users like. And that's what the majority of users I come into
contact think, they tried it, and went running back to office2003. So I'm
asking do I keep torturing myself by forcing myself to use something I don't
like or can go back to 2003 and get some work done :)

thanks but i've been using office product line for more than 10 years...
it's not that I can't use 2007, it's that it feels like an unneeded aenema
:)

The interface won't change back - at least I *really* doubt that it will. In
the menatime, I use 2007 at home and I'm getting used to it while I use 2003
at work. When they switch, I'm going to be the Office Goddess! (Well, okay,
maybe not a goddess, but definitely the go-to gal.)

"... it's that it feels like an unneeded aenema [sic]"

That's the most thoughtful description I've yet heard for the new interface.
Love it!!!
