Not really. As I've said: first impression was quite positive for
OpenOffice.org and VERY negative for MS Office 2007. But after some time
expression changed.
Sure, buttons are grouped differently in MS Office 2007. And it's a
problem for a people who are familiar with MS Office 2003 or MS Office XP.
But! Underlaying logic is the same. The fact that knobs are moved in MS
Office 2007 is irritating, the fact that knobs are different in
OpenOffice.org is disastrous.
P.S. Note: these were experienced MS Office 2003 users, not "fresh"
users - but it's the situation with most companies, right?
