"eWEEK Labs' evaluation of Microsoft's Office 2007 Beta 2 unearthed compelling features and tools, and reminded us why enterprises continue to rely on the productivity suite. During tests of the second beta of Office 2007, we were impressed with the suite's collaboration features. In fact, we believe they will be the impetus for dedicated Windows shops to upgrade when Office 2007 ships later in 2006. The suitewide attention to collaboration will enable users and enterprises as a whole to work with information in new and more creative ways." My take: I've been testing Office 2007 for a while now, and all I can say is this: the new interface is excellent. Try it before judging it, please.

The context sensitiveness was probably pushed by their MacBU. The OSX version of Office was special and different from the Windows version in that the context sensitive floating palletes were central in the way OfficeX was used, the toolbars being less important.
The pallete innovation probably evolved into the "Ribbon".
