My coworkers in other departments, like Sales and Marketing, Engineering. are having a horrible time dealing with 2007 ribbons. Its not worth it. MS isnt listening to their customers.

Nor are the big 4 accounting firms who work with with the Fortune 500 companies. The good side is great people who do listen to end users like "addintools.com" are doing a real benefit and service to end users. . Bad move by Microsoft.

It doesn't "turn off" the ribbon, it merely hides it. It's not that hard to figure out. I thought this article was going to teach me how to get rid of it once and for all. Lame.

MSO 2007 - what an abomination of what was a standardised GUI. I was trained up to an advanced level in MSO apps and to some degree was a Microsoft fan. The "rubbish" sorry "ribbon" interface has rendered me a complete novice. Although the version is installed because i'll be required to use it at university I'll be living quite nicely with 2003. Microsoft's arrogance prevails once again... Why didn't the end user have the functionality to choose between classic menu's and the abomination menu as they did with Windows XP. While I'm on the soap box - don't like Vista either .. Prefer my comfy old XP.... Great OS. Tho am being frifted over to linux slowly.!!!!
