I don't think the new ribbon UI will be hard to get used to... and in fact
folks will find it productive in the long-run. Just give it a chance.

My only gripe is the "default file format" WILL CAUSE MANY problems. I'm a
power user... and I've already sent Excel 2007 format files to clients by
mistake only to have them reply compaining "we can't read this file!"

My only other gripe is that despite the "new UI," Office 2007 is not nearly
as revolutionary as MS marketing would have you believe. The same old
brainnumbing deficiencies and quirks and unintuitive dialog boxes are all
still there. :(
