Once you get used to them. I want my MS Live buttons back!!! Besides, we are the ones using the program and try to get work done, they just design the software!

Windows Live: Now they removed all icons and put text instead. They are planning to move back to Windows 3.1 or Dos-based interface? WTF are they thinking?!

And toolbar customization is highly needed unlike Vista. The best way would be to give users a choice to select between "show only icons", "show only text" or "show both text and icons" in toolbar.

More space used by buttons' captions, therefore results in less space to show more buttons or customize the tool bar. . Text, sometimes, is less immediate to remember or understand than an image . Is an involution of UI standards: sometimes this could be a bonus, but not this time ;) . Because "Windows and Windows Live is moving to a much more typographical driven UI over all" is not a good reason, for my point o view, to replace the small, nice and promptly icons. Me too.
