He is not the only person reading this NG. Others will read my answer and
perhaps be more receptive to the information. -- Suzanne S.

God, I hope so! I won't buy Vista without a Classic view.

What a cruel way to treat us! No, there'll probably be a "Legacy-Classic" view for us. In an enlarged font. |

Do you know what a "shortcut" is? It's a "different method" of doing
something. Please review your request based on the widened view of reality.

Why not place all options and settings in the *same* place? (I can click file/print for everything - same idea for settings and options!) No, that would be too easy.... |

Thanks for the link, Suzanne. Examined the new Office UI, and decided I'll
need to use Office 2003 for the next 27 years. I'm too old to learn a dramatically complicated new UI. Gimme my toolbars back! (Smile.) If I wanted a "gee-whiz" Macintosh UI, I would have bought a Mac. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

All I can say is that most of those who have seen static screen shots have
reacted much like you. Those who have seen the new UI in action have reacted much more favorably. -- Suzanne S.
