Name your office suite

JDtech · 11-14-2010, 02:48 PM

In my opinion Microsoft has seriously shot itself in the foot with forcing the new ribbon bar interface on everyone in Office 2007 and Office 2010. The change has made me look at other office suites or look at simply continuing to use Office 2003. I know that 2003's days are probably numbered, though, as technology moves on and this suite will not.

So which office suite are you using, whether you're on Windows or not?

Office 2007, but I'm far from being in love with it.

Maybe I'm one of the few who is so turned off by the ribbon bar that I refuse to upgrade. I don't have anything against the ribbon per se. It's just that it invariably takes me a long time to find features that used to be easy to locate. And the worst thing is that there's no way to get back the old menus!

I guess I don't use it often enough to learn where everything is located. However, I probably use it as often as a homeowner or small business person would. I actually used 2003 more often.

I suppose this isn't aimed towards us part-time users. Maybe we should stick with things like "Works" or something.
