Going backwards: removing Office 2007

I’ve been using Office 2007 since before beta 2, and I’ve been very pleased with it. The ribbon interface makes Excel usable at long last; Word’s new document comparison features rock, and Outlook is a major improvement (the To-Do Bar alone would sell me an upgrade). Unfortunately, I’m starting to work on a project that requires me to use a set of custom content management tools, and they only work with Word 2003. I could always build a VM that has the older version, but that would introduce its own set of complications (like needing another Windows XP license). So, until the tool is updated to work with Word 2007, I’m removing Office 2007 and reinstalling Office 2003 on my two laptops (one’s physical, the other’s a VM on my MacBook Pro).
