Office 2007 (For Class)
I like the new layout of Microsoft Office 2007. The 'ribbon' helps keep everything in plain view, and is much easier that digging through menus trying to find what you need. The fact that the new format uses XML is pretty cool too.
As usual, Microsoft has tried to push their standard over everyone elses. Instead of using an open format such as .odt, they decided to go with .docx. In the end it really isn't such a bad thing though, since both formats are open and it is only a matter of time before other office suites can open and save to those formats. Another bad part is having to relearn the interface, but that is something I am willing to work with.
