Default I hate the ribbon -- bring the menus back!

I too am a long time user but there's no way I'd run the beta on my regular
system. I can't risk losing anything - not even if it is just long enough to
grab my back-up.

I dont expect it will JoAnn.

But you know I remember when Firefox first hit the market and took off
with the excitement of tab browsing, I will never forget Steve Balmer
saying who needs tabbed browsing, there is no point to it, whats the
purpose, its just like another window(which was a silly remark) blah blah
blah...well we know how IE7 is playing catch up with a poor tab browsing
feature as compared to FF

In any event I am a long time user of MS products and my office XP pro is
still doing well, but it really gets frustrating that MS seems not to pay
attention and we get such autocratic responses most of the time..

But as they say add/remove still works and thankfully we had a beta to
look at :-)

Cheers
Bill

The ribbon will not change, nor is there a "classic" view option.

I am a first-time Office 2007 user, and as such, I hate some of the
changes
I'm seeing. Perhaps that's a normal first reaction to Office 2007, and
perhaps I'll grow to prefer it. But for now, it appears I'm forced to
waste
valuable screen real estate staring at the outrageous ribbon bar that
often
doesn't even have the functionality that I'm looking for. At least with
Office 2003 with its regular menus I could click on one entry and hover
my
mouse around the others until I find what I'm looking for. And of course
I
could customize the toolbars to my liking, maximizing my available
screen
real estate. If I can do with the the ribbon, then it just isn't
obvious.
