There is an awful lot focussing on the cons uncovered in the new Word 2007 but luckily it’s not all bad news, as a quote from the article states:

“Generally it seems Microsoft has got the trade-off right, functionality that you're looking for never seems too far away and is always quickly found, if not immediately available.

Overall we're fairly happy with these ribbon-centric interface changes and hope to get used to the various alterations to the whitespace and font handling.”
