I'm not exactly full-tilt bozo over Vista either. THAT I frequently find downright annoying. Office 2007 though I think - once you get past the learning curve due to the differences between it and previous versions - is a vast improvement over previous versions. And I liked the previous versions. The learning curve is probably a bit steeper than it ought to be, but it's more acclimating than learning. It still does the same stuff (and more). You just have to learn how to find it all!
