Office 2007 UI incompatibility (with Office 2003) is driving us to reverse
our deployment of Office 2007. User frustration, loss of productivity CANNOT
be rectified with training -- the UI requies too many mode changes to get
anything done. If MS does not add a compatibiliy mode to the UI, I doubt
we'll ever re-deploy.
The product managers should have considered that forcing the the user base
to re-train opens the door to competitive defections. Changing both the UI
and the file format destroys two key advantages MS had over competitive
products.
Regretably, the Office team has made the same mistakle as the Vista team...
