I have given it more than a fair shot and it is atrocious.

Even were it marginally an improvement it destroys the
GUI-compatibility between Office and 10,000 other Windows
programs.

We, and many other admins and consultants, I run into are now
recommending AGAINST upgrade.

Likely we will have to do so one day -- or switch to Open Office --
but even though we have ALWAYS been Microsoft Office lovers
we will not put this on willingly.
