The New York Times has taken a look at Microsoft Office 2007. "After a radical redesign, Word, Excel and PowerPoint are almost totally new programs. There are no more floating toolbars; very few tasks require opening dialog boxes, and even the menu bar itself is gone. (Evidently, even Microsoft saw the need for a major feature purge. 'We had some options in there that literally did nothing,' said Paul Coleman, a product manager.)"

If the power goes out, everything else in your office functions except for the computers? Phones, lights, A/C, the works? If not do you guys just break out the Colemans and read files off paper out a window? I mean, yeah, if your network is down, certain functions of a "paperless" office are definitely compromised, but under the proper circumstances, ANY system would fail. So, merely stating a circumstance that a technology fails upon does not refute its merits unless the circumstance is common, pervasive, and completely unavoidable.
