There's a lot of improvements, and most of the negative elements are just remnants from the old versions of Office. They just stand out a lot more because of all the other big changes. The best way I can describe the Ribbon is as a tabbed toolbar. Instead of digging through menus to find the feature you want, you can find them pretty quickly on the Ribbon. The icons are laid out much clearer, and a lot of existing features such as tables of contents and headers/footers are much easier to find and use. There's some good pictures on <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/03/09/547281.aspx" rel="nofollow">Jensen's Blog</a>, such as this <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/photos/jensenh/images/547376/original.aspx" rel="nofollow">screenshot of Word 2007</a>.

My experience with the previous Office package has been excellent so far, so I'm reluctant to upgrade. I'm intrigued by the idea of the Ribbon though - what exactly is it?
