I've been using Office 2010 for several weeks now, and I actually have gotten to the point where I'm finding it harder and harder to use Office 2007. However, I'm reminded of the problems -- both with this product and, to a lesser extent, Windows -- that are unique to Microsoft and have proven to ...
