Yeah VISTA is a giant step backwards. Wait until you try Office
2007. It is terrible.

The typical MVP apologist for MIcrosoft claims you can "configure" it
to work like Office 2003 but what happens when you go to another
machine.

I have been using it for nearly two months and it still looks to me
like microsft took the sleek well organized Word 2003 and gave it to a
bunch of chimps to randomly reorganize.
