@NurseDave: Not fair, how can you make MS Office exciting at all?
I'd guess around E3 when they unveiled the Zune HD and the revamped XBOX Marketplace.
Media Center in 7 with Dishnetwork support is pretty cool. Decoupling CableCard from OEM and silly PID requirements is cool (and yes, it is happening).
I'm still not a fan of the 2007 redesign. It took me five minutes yesterday to find "Change Case - ALL CAPS". I sincerely hope that 2010 includes the ability to choose between 2003 and 2007 interface.
You don't change office productivity software for the sake of change. I don't know a single secretary or attorney who likes it.
@OMG! Ponies!: ponies, i think you just need to spend some time with it. it really is a better interface. i know youre smarter than me and it took me all of 15 seconds to find the all caps button. everything is fewer clicks away than before, its just a different.
@OMG! Ponies!: I hated it when I first started using it but now I'm ok with it. I don't think many of the changes were necessary though but some of the added features are nice to have. I don't know how long you've been using it but you'll get used to it and then grow to like it...
@OMG! Ponies!: The most annoying thing I remember is figuring out how to print. It took me a while to realize that the little Office icon in the top left was actually a button.
@DPeezy: In Office's case I don't feel like there has been much of a need to redesign since about 2003. Maybe as far as support for open document formats yes, but do any of us really need more functionality from our office suite than MS office provides? Oh crap, just remembered how much I hate Outlook's yellow sticky notes. That piece of shit drives me up the wall.

Seriously, has there been ANY progress since Office 2003? Weird menubar redesign aside...

We would have accepted "Kim Kardashian"
or "Heidi Montag" as answers.
