IE7 had the same problems Office 2007 and Windows Vista has,

They took a simple and easy to use interface and moved/hid everything leaving you to spend hours trying to hunt down simple functions that were easily found in previous versions.

It wasn't so bad with IE7, or with Vista, but Office 2007 is absolutely horrible. Even my shortcut keys don't work the same any more ( e.g. [alt][E}{C] for 'copy'). The still work (sometimes) in IE8, but not in Office. What were they thinking when they changed the interface? All it did was create a situation where anybody that had been using Office for the last 2 decades required training, either through a classroom or 'trial-and-error'. And, training costs companies money.

Had I known, back in 2007 when I got Office 2007, that it was going to be different, I'd have gotten 2003 instead.
