Re: MS Office 2007: why the Ribbon?

I'm currently indifferent to the interface change. What really burns my britches is the proliferation of file name extensions, and the incompatibility between them. I have to send out .doc versions of every .docx file I make.
Either save your documents in 2003 and previous version and send out that or upgrade your users. There is a Word 2007 viewer download from MS too.
