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.

That is not a legacy mode, it is an add-in that emulates certain aspects of the previous look-and-feel. Legacy mode implies that the program is inbuilt to be able to fall back to how it used to feel/function, not that someone has released something you could download (and buy, as I notice there is a Professional version of this for sale). I guess some people wont mind spending 30$ to get Office 2007 to behave more like previous versions.
