>>Are these new changes happening out of some desire to resemble the old Windows software as little as possible? Is there some kind of necessity to change the interface? Does it need a complete overhaul?
I would have said no, but I showed the new interface to my wife who is going back to school and is not a computer person. I spent a lot of time trying to get her to use a book to learn Word, knowing that she will have a lot of papers to type. When she saw the new interface she said that will be so much easier to learn.
Those of us who grew up on command lines and drop down menus will have a problem (there is no real drop down menu in the new Office), but if we step back and watch the newbie do things you will see that it really is a lot easier to use.
