Heck, I quit using anything to do with MS office and solely use Open 
Office _because_ of usability. Sometimes open source can beat commercial 
in that regard... in my subjective opinion. There are some things in 
open office that totally make sense to me and when I go back and see MS 
Office I wonder, "Why the heck did they do it like that?"
