And I'll agree with you. I'm no fan of Microsoft, or any company really - they are just companies - but lately they seem to be making some good things (Office 2007, VS2005, 360, Expression/WPF stuff - imo always). Personally, I use Office 2007 and i find that it does make me more productive. I like the way the ribbon works and I didn't find it difficult at all to get used to it, I thought it was pretty intuitive tbh, and I *love* the referencing bit where you put in all the references and then it will just generate the bibliography for you.
Ok, and I like the fact that it's pretty and it has cool effects. That has probably nothing to do with productivity but personally, working in a visually pleasing environment does affect me (in a positive way).
The following is the DEBUG error (you'll want to remove debug for production releases):

Cute isn't it? Someone forgot to turn off debugging
