Arthur, the folks that hate the ribbon are ... they're irate and they're very vocal. They maintain that because few people champion it that everyone hates it. I keep saying that's not exactly true. The people who have adjusted are just going about their work and they don't care about those conversations. :) I might write about this, so thanks for the reminder. I've mentioned it on the blog before, but can't hurt to mention it again. Another good one is minimizing the ribbon -- that's one of the biggest complaints -- that the ribbon takes up so much room. A quick double-click to a tab minimizes and maximizes it. The ^ sign at the right border does the same thing. Kind of beats the drop and drag stuff anyday, but people like what they're use to. I don't blame them for not being thrilled about the move to the ribbon, but ... it is what it is. It's here, it's staying.
