Software for Dinosaurs

CRN is running an article this morning, ThinkFree Sees Opportunity From Dissatisfied Microsoft Office Users that says the folks at ThinkFree are looking to grab users from those who don't want to make the jump to the new MS Office 2007 user interface. As someone who thinks the new UI sucks tennis balls through a garden hose, I can certainly sympathize with this marketing tactic; I suspect they should be able to grab a decent niche from companies that don't see any need to absorb massive retraining costs just because Redmond got attracted by something shiny. On the other hand, I'm still not especially convinced of the utility of online Office suites myself. That still seems like the sort of software that should live on my local hard drive.
