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 do not know. Innovation is generally good, but in my opinion, changing things just for the sake of change is stupid.
But most people who have given Office 2007 an honest chance and gotten past the initial confusion seem to think that the improvements are for the better.
In this case it's changing things for the sake of seeing if there is a better way than the old way and that should be applauded.

Gawk, imagine what the world would look like if all people were like that.
We'd still be flinging poo at one another from trees. "
