I had a look at Office 2013. the bright white color burned my eyes. I think Microsoft were going for minimalism, but it looks amateurish. could you make a almost not terrible video about office 2013 like the one you did with windows 8?
their web-browser has always been crap, but Microsoft did have two great products: windows and office. now they are ruining both! somethings really wrong with Microsoft!
Perhaps because it was the office suite I learned on but I still like my 2003. I have copies of 2007 and 2010 but I guess you can say I am old fashioned.
there was nothing wrong with the menus in 2003 and the versions before that.
I spent a long time readjusting to 2007.
what I think is problematic whith the menus in 2007 2010 and 2013 is that they use tabs for menus. the trends a lot of other software developers is heading for is using tabs to switch between documents in a single window. microsoft has been missing out on this. i think it should be in as many programs as possible.
I would respectfully disagree. Having multiple documents in a single instance/window makes it difficult to bring up a specific document with a single click. It also makes it more difficult to quickly display multiple documents side-by-side. It can be great for saving space on your taskbar if you have ~10+ programs open at a time but I don't usually run into that problem.
When it comes to web browsers I completely agree with this point of view, I like having every tab in a browser represented by a single instance/window on the taskbar.
