What's really crazy about it is that they didn't just step away from the standard Office interface, they stepped away from the standard ANY application interface. I mean, think about the applications you use regularly. How many of them have menus across the tope that include "File", "View", "Edit", and "Window", plus any specialized ones the app has? That's right, pretty much ALL of them. So this redesign of Office doesn't just make it harder for earlier Office users to figure out, it makes it hard for anyone used to ANY standard application to figure out. Hell, my newest version of Final Cut Studio, a VERY complex film editing software, follows the File/Edit/View/Window menu standard. New users picking it up have at least a SHOT at guessing where to look for something.

It's just stupid.
