New images! Office 2007 and IE7 Has MS gone mad?
You should learn to spell..
-- Mike Hall MS-MVP Windows Shell/User "progressive realization" - wrote in message ... No things change all the time. Nothing remains constant, however things can become worse also. IE7 has some improvments, but its GUI sucks. Read my other post about Avantbrowser AGAIN, that I clearly explain in the post that it is a IE shell that uses the trident engine, yet you ignore that, and you go on whining... what a smuck! "Bill Frisbee" wrote in message ... I don't know what you are getting at. 1.) Most people are finding IE 7 actually runs faster than IE 6 2.) There are sites that don't work under Firefox and Opera, and heck even IE 6 as well. 3.) Moving to Firefox or Opera will suffer the same. IE 6 is gone, just like Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and the like. Things move forward. Things that stay the same die. Bill F. "progressive realization" - wrote in message ...

And takes up tonnes more memory, CPU and has a really bad habit of destroying documents that are imported...

I have tried to use Open Office, I didn't like it.
I'm not a big fan of Office 2007. I do love Office 2003, though. -Michael "Bill Frisbee" wrote in message ...

Read this:
you have a high resolution, in that resolution office 2007 is better. I would vote for a customizable ribbon, that could change in many ways including MAGNIFICATION with vector quality. Many people have widescreen laptops, that need vertical space. These people used to customize office to get less toolbars, but cannot do that any longer. Other people use CRT or big monitors because they have eyesight problems. And then there are blind people who use voice synthesis to "see" their screen. The toolbar presenting many icons may not seem to you confusing. However I must urge you to open your mind, and see that there are many people with tiered over loaded brains, and some that have illnesses. There are old people who use computers too. So in office they have substituted a string of actions with, shall we say a big pallet of options shown before you, so you must select a locating from icon shape from that pallet. People with mild or severe autism will tell you that this is overwhelming to them. Yes the PANIC and sweat when giving them too many choices at once. There are people that don't spend 10 hours in front of the computer, but 16 or even 18 hours. But even at 5 hours, it depends on the amount of information presented on the screen. This rhythm is increasing dramatically with high speed internet and video. There are many studies that show that the human brain is being overwhelmed with information... by presenting too much at a time, needing you to choose from a palette of shapes and choices (ribbon), is utterly wrong. In other words normal people are showing signs of autism, because the brain cannot absorb the information presented fast enough. Sorry, it will not work as well for the groups I have described above. Memory uses strings to associate actions. One thing then leads to another..... Anyway... you seem ignorant to all this because you have a big screen, and you have been using office with your computer skills and you think everyone is like you. However you are very mistaken. Your work probably consist of actions in a few applications, and some occasional web surfing. You are of an old generation of users. New users, don't use computers as you do. YOU are becoming the minority! I think you are the one who is narrow minded. You see that it works for you and so it should work for everyone... If you even could fathom the understanding from which I speak, you would put your tail between your legs and run away yapping. There is much more to say about this.. this is only a small portion of what I could say about why the design is bad.... "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in message ... Old enough to probably be your mother-in-law, if some poor girl was so unfortunate as to be stuck with someone as narrow-minded as you, not to mention judgemental and pedantic. Dual monitors on my desktop, 1600x1350. (At home) Single monitor at work, same settings. I sit in front of a monitor at least 10 hours a day, doing real work and not whining because someone whose software you will proabably not use changed their interface.

The solution to making documents compatible is for Microsoft to make the cod for .doc open source and cooperate with making it a standard and not a proprietary format. FAT CHANCE!!!

Of course things can become worse. However IE 7 is a major improvement over IE 6. YOU don't like the GUI, I do. Well I hate to say it but I agree with the troll, on the IE7 GUI being awful I mean, not the whole personality issues and inability to write more than two sentences without heaping personal insults on people! However, I do quite like Office 2007's GUI, so go figure. |
