We all know that Windows 7 is on its way, planned for release somewhere late 2009 or early 2010. We already know it will have a multitouch framework, no major kernel and/or driver framework changes, and a new taskbar people at Microsoft are not supposed to talk about right now. The firs two milestone releases didn't appear to be very exciting, but now there is - supposedly - a milestone 3 (build 6780) release, and there is a screenshot, and more information on UI changes. According to Microsoft blogger Stephen Chapman, the ribbon will make its way to Windows 7.

I think that is most people's problem/issue with Ribbons and Office 2007. It's the first time they've seen them and they don't see them in any other program. Using more ribbons and providing a more consistent interface will probably grab ribbons the reputation it deserves. I'm not really a big fan of ribbons, I like clicking on menus and toolbar buttons, but I imagine I'm in the minority.
