Microsoft Office

Around 2003, Microsoft released an updated version of it's office package, MS Office Pro 2003. Here's a quick Microsoft statement on the update.

Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 can help you and your organization communicate information with immediacy and impact. New and familiar programs and improved functionality help you build powerful connections between people, information, and business processes.

What they didn't say is this.

Despite our best efforts, we at Microsoft will be the first to tell you that although these programs are over a decade old, are built to be easy to use, and are in essentially every household in this country with a computer, your coworkers will not be able to run them effectively, if at all. What will drive you the most crazy, however, is that your coworkers will never understand that they can actually try and fail a few times to figure things out instead of endlessly bothering the crap out of you to remove a border from a text box. What they simply won't get is that moving their mouse over the top menu bar actually allows them to see different menu items that can perform different functions within the program... what they'll probably do is come to you and ask you how to do it... even how to change a font color, or how to change the size of an image... and you'll Love it!!! In fact, you'll quite often spend half your day helping people do mundane tasks within Microsoft office that a freaking trained monkey could do blindfolded.
