Still more deprovements: force everyone to use the Ribbon whether we like it or not. And many of us don't, even though we've been told we would get used to it.

My main gripe about the ribbon is that it has lots of widgets that I have no use for (like centering a paragraph in Word), and lacks the widgets I need. Sure, I can add widgets to the (non-)quick bar, but then I have to remember what those silly little icons mean. In the olde days, I could add menu items that had names--what a quaint idea, that I would rather read a word than guess what an icon means! And I could get rid of menu commands that were useless to me!

Office 2010 (and 2007) is like American cars in the late 50s: all about chrome and tail fins and planned obsolescence, instead of useful changes. Now if Toyota would start making software...

Wow, only Microsoft can spend billions on software development and come up with gems like separate buttons for increase and decrease font size RIGHT NEXT TO a drop down menu for font size. Maybe if they were a little more efficient with their interface design they wouldn't have to go with a wacky modal "ribbon" to get screen real estate back.
