Well, yeah, but the OCR attacker also just needs to get the OCR readable word right...

I'd have no problem with these ribbon things, if only they were on the side of the screen.
Right know when working with a document in any text document editing program, there's generally two huge empty spaces on the left and on the right. They should fill that up instead.

On the other hand, this does not apply to everything, for example iGoogle was fine with the tabs on top, because it easily had multiple things visible next to each other in the same tab. They moved the tabs left (without an option to put them back on top), and without even giving any additional vertical space (they actually somehow even managed to kill more vertical space) they killed off some more horizontal space as well, making the menu on the side a horrible idea in that case.

lol, cheap

Review didn't bother to look any further than the taskbar. The windows accessories have also gotten a nice revamp, for example.
WordPad now supports .odt, Paint's got new brushes, the Calculator now shows the whole formula you've typed, etc.
So when people switch over to Win7, you can actually start sending them .odt documents, and be sure they can open them.

It looks like a flying ballpoint pen.

Err.. self-correction.
They're for cross eye viewing (right eye looks at left image, left image at right image), not for straight eye viewing.
I'm used to using my left eye to look at the left image and right for right image (which is easier, imo).
But anyways, if you're having issues, easiest is to check which method you're using to watch them, and switch them up if needed.

A lot of pictures on that site seem to have switched up the left and right one, which is why your eyes will get tired when you try to use those :/
The ones on the other sites are just fine, though.

I have a simple iGoogle page with my Gmail and about 5 RSS feeds. It originally simply showed all the titles of the stuff in the feeds, with a + button in case I wanted to read what it was about. When they first pushed the change trough, the + button for the RSS feeds was removed, and all the texts were completely visible, resulting in too much text to fit on my screen. Not really useful at all. With a bit of searching I found there actually was a function available to make the text invisible. But without + button, so all in all the new version of iGoogle was pretty much a downgrade. The + button on the RSS feeds has returned a few days ago, though. And yeah, the tabs on the left is a pure waste of space, and it's just ugly and impractical. I don't really see the use of showing the titles of the contents of the tab, that I can already see in the center of my screen, in the tab list itself as well. I know what's in my tabs.
