Windows 8 looking to replace toolbars with Ribbons

[webby]

Microsoft is experimenting with a new user interface for its upcoming next-generation operating system, Windows 8, which would in part replace toolbars and the traditional ‘File, Edit, View’ bar with a Ribbon.
This may not seem as much of a surprise, as many applications in incumbent Windows 7, including Wordpad and Paint, along with trendsetting Office 2007 and 2010 applications, already include the Ribbon.

I am used to ribbons on other software I use daily.

At first I was not happy, but as with most things, I learned to adapt.

Come to think of it, all of my 2007 office products are ribbon based.

This is correct. I guess if I spent the time in them it'd become second nature. I just despise the way office/word was setup after using previous versions so much. I always felt like I was clicking a thousand things to find the thing I wanted (or never finding it at all)
