Which is the best version of MS Office in your opinion?

2003 was probably my favorite Office. I just never liked the Ribbon interface. It wasn't a case of not being used to it, I used 2007 before 2003. The normal menu bar was just so much easier to use. I don't have much of a reason to use Office though, all I do is print labels with Word & that's ab...
