Reminds me of the 2001 movie "Conspiracy"...

To me, buttons and icons provide the visual cue that "clicking here does something", without having to mouse over them to discover that they're clickable.

It's the unadorned text strings that aren't as obvious.

Yea, I agree that Office 2003 was the pinnacle of Office UI design. And I'd go so far as to say that about Windows 2000.

Having controls in predictable shapes and locations really contributed to "ease of use". One of my pet peeves is the more recent trend where clickable elements aren't obviously so. Such as a string of text that one has to hover across and see the cursor change shape to know that it's clickable.

As others have said, I think a significant part of why the UIs have changed since then is to accommodate touch screens and "webification".

'Glad to see your posting. I thought I was just being curmudgeonly :)
