Excel, I love you. Excel, I hate you.

What the fuck does this dialog box mean? When you say the last saved version, do you mean by me or by you Excel? Regardless of how cancel and open map to my saved version vs. Excel’s saved version, why are you using the word cancel? I don’t want to cancel anything, I just want to open the file and see my work, I want to cancel you getting in the way. How could something this many people use be so terrible?

I find rhetorical questions especially effective when berating software. This post may seem silly but this dialog box may be the the most annoying design flaw I encounter on a daily basis, aside from my own errors.
