Default The Arrogance of Microsoft

Thanks for your understanding JoAnn.

You are of course correct€¦

Why should any of us expect that all our years of learning, using and
upgrading the MS products would warrant any reasonable expectation that they
would not go off and re-invent all the menus and commands that we have spent
the last 20 years learning?

I have the feeling that this new UI will go the way of New Coke. Anybody
remember New Coke?

Thanks again JoAnn.

This just shows how little Microsoft actually cares about its customer
base.
If they had any concern at all they would have included the classic UI,
rather than forcing us to purchase it for an additional $29 from some
third
party. What arrogance!

I am so sorry that I upgraded. Ive used Word for just about 20 years now
and I am an absolute fool for trusting MS. I should have done more
research
before buying.

Microsoft clearly does not care about its long time customers.
