Is it just me or is this the worst and most user unfriendly version ever?

Unfortunately it's on my work laptop and they won't downgrade to 2007 (the best of a poor bunch IMO). I just find it so unusable I'm bringing work home and doing it on my desktop.

Why do we need all these fancy graphics? Why do we need this stupid home page that can't be switched off without delving into the depths of a new and hard to navigate menu? Why can't I just save a document using the "save as" tab without going through the morass of crap to select a destination folder?

Improvement? I don't think so! I'm just so glad I didn't pay for it!


Anyone else feel this way?
