Default Nostalgia for the old UI

Can we please have an option to go back to the classic UI that we all know
and love/hate in Office 2007. I am using the Beta and I cannot find anything,
and it is frustrating enough that I dont want to upgrade.

There is no provision for a "classic" UI, and we have been assured that this
is because there is really no way to implement it. For help in finding
things in the new UI, there is a Command Reference; see

So don't upgrade. No one is twisting your arms or stealing your money. I
don't like it (translation: hate it) either but the "old way" is history and
their is no classic view. That means I either live with Office 2003 forever
or I adapt. I still haven't decided which option I'm going with yet.

I am sorely tempted to go back to Office 97.

At least it had a usable help system, and fewer of the annoying
"helpful" features that I have to spend time learning to turn off.

I can only go back to Office 2000 - but I do genuinely like 2003.

I agree with your co-worker up to a point. When technology advances to the
point where the program no longer functions properly, it's time to upgrade.
For example, DOS-based programs.
