1. Comment - Microsoft to License Office 'Look and Feel' for Free

   I do agree that Vista and IE7 are fine, actually better than what we have been using.
   
   But: "We stopped with XP, it for us was the pinnacle of perfection for Office"
   
   You're kidding. Office XP was like the beta version of Office '03 (which is the best version since '97). They have finally made the task pain into a useful task pane and Outlook is the best version ever.
   
   Office 2007 is a farce. You can't find anything that's not basic and you probably already know a keyboard shortcut for. It takes up way too much room on the screen and is only customizable by a programmer. The loss of real toolbars is extremely disorienting. To add to the insult, there is no provision to revert to the older interface.
   
   Please do not buy or copy this UI as it is the worst idea since MS Bob (or perhaps the Search Puppy). I hope it flops on its face. This is a hard slap in the face to those of us who have been using Office products for years (in my case, since Word 1.1)
