The perfect decoration for a parcel of poop (for those in the U.S.A this word does not rhyme with goop)

I mean, its certainly a change and takes a bit of getting used to, but I find once you adjust to it it allows you to get to more options, faster.

From memory it wasn't well received by the office using masses - generally not a good sign.

Any major UI change is unlikely to be well received by the masses, simply because their accumulated knowledge of how to use the program is now useless. And also, major UI change is likely to be less polished initially than the old UI was - regardless of the quality of the new UI design.

Real test is 10 years down the track, is it still a major piece of software, and whether people like the UI - I reckon MS got it spot on there.
