Bold Redesign Improves Office 2007

Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal takes a test drive of Microsoft's Office 2007:
It's as if Toyota decided to switch the position of choices on the automobile shift lever, or Motorola decided to rearrange the buttons on the cellphone key pad. Even if the companies could conclusively show that the changes made life easier, many people would be annoyed at best, and furious at worst.

In the case of the new Office, I think the changes are most beneficial for users concerned with the layout and design of documents. The commands that are now better arranged and easier to find are mainly those that relate to formatting, layout, graphics and design.

He's not joking about the radical changes.

You might remember I've been using Office 2007 since early December and I love it. In fact, it's hard to go back.
