At CeBIT today, Microsoft unveiled an updated version of their 'ribbon' user interface, used in Office 2007. They even set up a special page for it. Jensen Harris of Microsoft explains more about it on his blog. On a related note, this article goes a little deeper into the OpenOffice.org vs. MS Office debate.

I suppose people are judging the interface not the entire program. And it seems pretty fair to me.
I don't see anyone claiming that the application is slow or bloated or whatever. Simply put, people are criticizing the interface and screenshots fit that purpose almost perfectly.
Obviously, you can't infer about its usability. Nevertheless, you can try guessing what will be people's reactions to the changes. And I, for one, don't think they'll be good. I bet Microsoft will be releasing a SP1 with the option to revert to the old interface.

It always amazes me how people can judge entire products on the basis of a few screenshots.
