Default MS Office - what a joke!

I think i officially hate MS office - even more than i did before...

My university thought it was a great idea to upgrade office on half the machines to office 2007. Now, most machines here have open office as well as MS office so you can really use either. Poor me, the lab i'm in at the moment doesn't have open office so i'm stuck with this 17mb file that i can't open. I used this fantastic service called media convert ( google it ) where you can upload in one format and it will conver it to whatever you want. I converted my stupid file to MS format which took ages, downloaded it now i find out that MS office chokes on huge files like this. It's 'saving' right now and has been doing so for a few minutes.

Another thing, who the hell thought 'ribbons' were a good and useful idea? man, i've never felt so lost in an application before, it's just utterly pathetic! Took me ages to find the save button ... then even longer to find the 'save as' button.

ARRGGHHH
