Im not against tabs as a general design option. The ribbon sucks though ...
Its the implementation thats horrible.

I also think that Office2007 should have had an option to revert back to the
old menu style, and not wait for a 3rd party to do that *there is an add-on
called classic menus for office2007* (shareware) you cannot imagine how many
people have thanked me a million times, some even in tears for me telling
them of the existance of that add on.

Oh yes.. The ribbon is bad.. horrid

You have not been around too long it seems reading what real people are
saying about it.

I have read all kinds of nonsense about it. So much, in fact, that
before I actually installed Office 2007 I was sure I would not like it.
But lo and behold, after actually USING it, I like it.

Who says that menus that disappear as soon as you choose something is the
best way? Choose the wrong item and you have to go back and open the
menu again. Need something else from that menu - that's right, you
have to open it again. And again. And again. How much time do you
think has been wasted opening and re-opening the same menus 50 times a
day?

Sorry, tabs are an improvement. It's just shocking to see them used this
way. After using it for a couple of days you find yourself thinking "why
didn't someone think of this before"? Remember, lots of people didn't
"get" tabbed browsing either, until they used it for a couple of days.
