I definitely prefer 2007, though replacing the file menu with a hieroglyph provided some initial confusion

but then I don't much care for Office in general.  gimme a TeX installation and I'm happy.  I wish someone would make a nice split WYSIWYG/textual-representation document editor a la VS2008's WPF Designer.  Word's Reveal Formatting, Word Perfect's Reveal Codes and LyX don't really cut it.
