Hey Pride...Looks like you got a few broken images...FYI

In anycase, talk about a complete gui makeover. Microsoft has really made there programs look nice. How big is that thing anyway (size). I imagine it would be a pretty hefty install with the various changes in looks they made. Does anyone think that Microsoft has been trying to lean towards MAC's nice gui curve...looking more and more like mac software to me.

By the way, those other images are there, they just didn't load when I first launched the page...had to reload that's all. Seem to be having issues with being to load fites recently...Keep on getting classic page could not be loaded messages. I usually have to reload to get the page to work. Must be my isp...I'll be sure to give you the error message I get in IE if it happens again. I don't know if the servers on overload or what. Will keep you posted in a new thread under suggestions...if you want. Thanks

Yes, please do. Others have complained as well... though I never seem to have problems.

As for the GUI... it is VERY different, which is good

The removed toolbars and replaced them with Ribbons. The ribbons are dynamic, and only show you options for what you can do at that moment.

For instance.. if you highlight text... you wont see a mail merge function, but rather only see text editing options.

Makes getting through the 1200+ commands muuuuch easier!
