Forget the freakin RIBBON and FIX the FLAWS!
Forget the stupid RIBBON and FIX the THINGS THAT DON'T WORK since Office 2003 and even previously.

I would have liked -

1 Outlook to open 2 outlook profiles at the same time. This has been a problem since the First Office.

2 A search in outlook e-mail messages to include the dang TO field so I know who it was going to when I search my sent folder - I'm pretty I know who it is FROM - there isn't as much of need for that field as there is the TO field. This has been a problem since the First Office.

3. Outlook to reliably shut down - tired of switching profiles only to find outlook is still running so it opens the same profile. This has been a problem since the First Office.

4. Access to NATIVELY support JPGS - have to install Photo Editor from office XP for Office 2003 to work - same problem for Office 2007 - of course what kind of person uses photos in a database - perhaps someone with an inventory? This actually WORKED in Office XP but they MESSED IT UP in 2003!

5. Excel to have an easier way to get rid of photo links - go ahead and copy and paste results from pricewatch - now delete the rows - funny - buy now is still there - isn't it? This has been a problem since the First Office.
