Microsoft Vista and new office word are just terrible!
I have never been so frustrated with the window upgrade before. Since I started with DOC 3x, I have been a loyal Microsoft user, but the latest changes in the Vista and Office are just terrible! Even after 6 months of using Vista, it raises my blood pressure once a while. The better look is traded off with poor functionalities and horrible performance. It seems that any directory with many files would take a long time to be viewed or copied. Microsoft Word is just cryptic, the menu shift seems intuitive until I try to find the option I am looking for. I wish Microsoft provides at least a way for me to just use the same menu as previous versions. Plus, many documents with hyperlink embedded now show as {HYPERLINK…} and I can’t seem to find a way to show the hyperlink as it was. I guess with this kind of improvements, there is no wonder Microsoft is losing its market share to the web 2.0 and apple fast.
