"Ooh, it's fresh and original.  It's a revolution in UI design."  Blah blah blah.  I've used Office 2007 for a week now, and I don't like it.

First off, I can't find anything.  I've been an Office power user for 15 years now, but with '07 I don't know where any of the commands are.  It's not intuitive at all.  There's no edit menu.  I find myself constantly using the help manual.  It's slowing me down.
