Am I the only person that like office 03 more than 07?

I've been hooked on 2007 since I got the ultimate version for $60. The interface is millions of times better than 2003. Things are placed lot more logically, it takes fewer steps to get to what I want to do.
For those interested, Microsoft did a really interesting talk about how the Ribbon interface came about. Whether you are a fan of it or not, it is a very interesting how they arrived at it.

Also, for all your friends still on older versions of office, they can download a compatibility pack from Microsoft so that they can open the 2007 formats. And for those too scared to install it, it only takes like 3 more seconds to save it in the old format.

Office 07 is far, far better and easier to use once you spend just a little bit of time getting used to it.

Most people don't like change and aren't willing to adapt and learn. They get comfortable with what they know and refuse to take advantage of new things, then they call if inferior because they don't understand it.

My complaint about the compatibility pack is that it only converts from docx to doc. They need to release an upgrade for Office 2003 that makes it work with docx natively.
