It is rubbish for power users (imo) - more clicks of the mouse to get what you want. I'm used to using toolbars where i know i can use any command I need with a single click without looking through a stack of ribbons.

lol you 1337 BS guys saw your horizontal slot shut. It's one of the best interface I remember seeing in my life. Bringing Windows further to task oriented approach that people can get familiar with in way shorter time than the old fashioned way.

Whats up with Frontpage. Why is it always left till last. 2003 was the first Frontpage upgrade worth getting, now they leave it without the ribbon interface, I bet even stupid crappy publisher gets the new look!!!

That's... a lot of photos. Thanks.

The toolbars are giving me a headache. I can tell they're trying, but it's so damn cluttered. It's just overwhelming. I can't think of a better way off the top of my head to display the myriad options that MS shoves into Office, but there has got to be one.

Im really excited about the new office look, i think it looks great, and just seems to be easier to understand, you have everything rite infront of you. But i guess we'll have to wait and see how the final product performs compared to the previous versions...
