This is very important -- maybe more important than the file compatibility
issue.  Your mind and your fingers have been trained for years to navigate
well-worn paths to cause things to happen that you need to happen, and many
things are now different.

I also find that Office 2007 exposes many more options at once in the
Ribbon, and that is not always to the benefit of productivity.

I guess it's possible that someone starting from scratch, having never used
Microsoft Office at all, might reach a higher level of productivity faster
with Office 2007 than with previous versions -- assuming you need on average
to use advanced functions.

I'm willing to concede that that's possible; however, I don't personally
believe it.
