There are the ribbon lovers and the ribbon haters.  I guess I'm one of the
haters.  However, the new ribbon in Office 2010 can be configured to almost
look like the old style menus we were used to.

I've also heard from several beta testers of the upcoming Office 2011 for the
Mac that MS has put the ribbon interface there too.  Although not quite like
the Windows version.  I really would like to upgrade to Office 2011 because it
brings back VB - which I really need.  (I miss my macros.)  But now I'm not so
sure.
