   So Steve Ballmer thinks that IE8 is going to reverse their admitted continued loss in market share in the world of browsers. Keep drinking the Cool-aide Ballmer.

   You got it exactly! Before MS can reverse their slippage they first need to admit there's even a problem!

   I haven't even use Office 2007, so delaying Office 14 is no big deal to me as Office 2003 is more then enough for me, plus call me a oldie but I prefer the classic toolbar vs the ribbon any day

   I totally agree with you TD! The whole Ribbon thing took a lot of getting used to by me and I still don't care for it. The superior system was the one that allowed each user to place before them the pallet of tools they mostly use and in the location and order you prefer to have them. Under the current system, you've got to constantly go searching for your most used tools which can be spread out over multiple sections. I was just thinking the other day of reverting back to Office 2002 for just this reason.
