Nice article, to the point, no excess.
After using the ribbon a few times, I found it immeasurably better than bogged-down menus in previous office versions.
I see the concept has been 'borrowed' in other apps, eg. AutoCad.
Hand on heart, it's the best innovation I've seen from Microsoft for years.

I wish that Word 2008 (the mac version) was just a port of Word 2007. I absolutely had the "formatting pallet". When i use my mate's pcs, i find that Office 2007 is just a pleasure to use, rather than a constant struggle with a crap UI.
Oh well, when i get my new hard drive, i'll run it in parallels. Unfortunately it's not that brilliant in crossover...

Interesting, you actually picked one of the biggest examples of inconsistency in Word 2007 (or perhaps more accurately, one of my biggest bugbears!).
Page Breaks hang off of the Insert tab - nice obvious place for them.......so where are section breaks located?
Why, off of the Page Layout tab of course, along with page breaks...again.
Yes, there are some nice improvements in Word 2007, there are also some "improvements" that are not so nice.

Nice PR puff piece about the Vole's biggest rip off.

I found this feature really useful. I think that the tutorials are a really good use of video, and would like to see more (newest version of excel?)& maybe Cliff could do some of his image editing tutorials in video too?
