Life is grand

Microsoft have released a screenshot of the third colour scheme for Office 2007; silver.

Anybody else feel angry looking at it? I nearly hurled my lunch.

While I happen to think Vista was designed by a jolt drinking, pizza munching geek I also happen to think that Office 2007 looks nice. In its default Blue colour scheme.

This silver scheme is wrong on so many levels but I will mention just one; look at the window title. The bit that reads “Fabrikam Journal - Microsoft Word”

Was a kid with crayons and an etch a sketch allowed to do that shading? Awful. Just awful.

Apologies to the hard working Office team who have done a great job with the new UI but have seemingly, in this latest colour scheme, been forced to use the Vista designer (and apologies to the Vista designer but you need to stop using MSPaint.)
