Why I hate Microsoft Office 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| The fun doesn't end with Outlook. Word,
| Excel, and PowerPoint are all infected with
| what I've dubbed the Back Stage Virus. I'm
| referring, of course, to the new Back Stage
| view that pops up whenever you click the
| File tab in any of these applications.
| Instead of the drop-down menu that appears
| on all previous ribbonized applications
| (including the Windows 7 Paint and WordPad
| accessories), Office 2010 presents you with
| a dedicated, full-window pane containing a
| schizophrenic array of buttons, button
| menus, and hyperlink-like text labels.

Microsoft Office 2010: So Many Reasons to Hate It
,----[ Quote ]
| Office 2010 is clunky -- that's the first
| word that comes to mind as I meander around
| the recently leaked official beta release
| (build 14.0.4514.1007, for those keeping
| score). The default color scheme is a
| ghastly gradient gray blur, while the new
| Outlook Scenic Ribbon toolbar is a
| disorganized mess.
