To be frank, Microsoft Office 2007 is considered a major upgrade (unlike last time, they released a new version in a year or two, for example office 2000, office 2002 (xp) and office 2003)

The interface is totally revamped, giving me a cultural shock. But well, I believe all we need is just some time to get used with it.

In terms of software user-friendliness, i think it's hard to judge. The best is to let a totally newbie to word processing software to try both 2003 and 2007 copies.

Software's aim is to make human lazier (er, they mark it as 'better productivity'). But at a certain point, you may think - do we actually need those cool interface?

Make no mistake, I actually love Office 2007 ;) Good work from Microsoft - and yeah, why is it making more and more similar interface with Mac?
