Office 2010 isn’t Photoshop–but it was never intended to be

 * Customizable ribbon. The Ribbon helps you find the command you want by making common commands visible as easy-to-spot buttons organized into related groups. Of course, no one knows how you work as well as you do, and that’s why you can now customize the Ribbon. Hand-tailor the Ribbon by organizing its commands in a way that makes sense to you. You can add new tabs, create your own groups, add or remove buttons, and more. Never again scratch your head wondering where to find the command you want.
    * Backstage view. With Office 2010, Microsoft introduces Backstage view, a smart new way to work with files. Backstage view gathers together everything that you might do with a file (as opposed to what you might do to a file): create a new file, open an existing one, save, print, set permissions, or share. In Word, for example, when you’re finished editing a document, you go Backstage to print it or email it to a colleague. You get Backstage by clicking the File tab, the leftmost tab on every Ribbon. Clicking here takes you out of editing view and shows information about the file itself–that’s why they call it Backstage.
    * Better photo-editing tools. Okay, so Office 2010 isn’t Photoshop–but it was never intended to be. Still, you can add cool effects and edit your photos without having to switch to a photo editor. Crop photos, remove distracting backgrounds, and capture screenshots of open windows–right from Office.
    * Paste preview. If you’ve ever been frustrated by having to reformat text pasted into an Office file from another source, you’ll appreciate this feature. Paste Preview shows you a live preview of how pasted-in text will look in your document, spreadsheet, or other file. You can switch between paste options to make sure that your work looks the way you want it to.
  

Lots of people think nothing of downloading

 * Protected view. Lots of people think nothing of downloading and opening files that they find on the Internet–even when they have no idea who created these documents. To protect your computer, Office programs open downloaded files in Protected view, showing a read-only version of the file that can’t do nasty things to your computer. If you trust the source from which you got the file, you’re an easy click away from enabling full-fledged editing.
    * Borrow interface metaphors from the physical world. Lean on users’ real-world experience to create intuitive experiences. People will try anything on a touchscreen, for example, that they’d logically try on a physical object or with a mouse-driven cursor. Besides these practical benefits, using an everyday object as an interface metaphor imbues an app with the same associations that folks might have with the real McCoy–a shelf of books, a retro alarm clock, a much-used chessboard, a toy robot.
    * Office Web Apps. Microsoft has put its most popular Office programs on the Web–for free. With Internet access and a Windows Live ID, you can work with Web-only versions Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote from just about anywhere. Store your files on SkyDrive, which provides 25 GB of storage space, and work on them whenever and wherever you want. And Office Web Apps makes sharing your files easier than ever before.

Six Things to Love about Office 2010
Office 2007 represented an Office revolution, introducing the Ribbon–a screen-top strip of buttons, organized around common tasks, that replaced the unwieldy collection of toolbars found in earlier versions. The Ribbon forever changed the way people worked with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the other Office programs. Office 2010 doesn’t shake things up the way its predecessor did, but it does fine-tune the entire machine and adds some nifty new features. Whether you’re upgrading from Office 2007 or you’re a holdout from an earlier version of Office, here are six things you’ll love about Office 2010:

If you load such a file in Office 2007

One of the questions people ask about the new user interface is "how much training is required to get up to speed?"
Well, our design goal was to require no training at all. From the earliest prototypes, we were trying to design an experience so that people could sit down in front of Office 2007 and be effective right away at getting their work done. One of the reasons we didn't go more radical on the overall design was that we wanted to make the product comfortable to use--after all, at the end of the day, it's still Microsoft Office.
Jensen's job, of course, is to promote Office 2007. What he says may be true for those who have never used Microsoft Office, but he left out a few things.
Those who will have the most difficulty adapting are the great masses of office workers who have learned how to perform a dozen or so common tasks in Excel or Word, and they do them day after day. These people, for the most part, will experience serious frustration. In many cases, these workers don't even look at the "big picture." Rather, their task is broken down into a series of very specific steps that they've learned over the years. What happens when those steps no longer work?
Another potential source of frustration is the "deprecated features." Anyone who has followed the betas of Office 2007 know that quite a few features have been removed. Other features seem to be missing, but they are still available if you take some additional steps and them to your Quick Access Toolbar. The typical user won't know this.
Another problem. There are millions of customized Office apps in use that use toolbars and/or custom menus. If you load such a file in Office 2007, your familiar menu modifications and toolbars do not appear. Well, they are still there, but the user must know to click the Add-Ins tab. Then, all of the toolbars and menu modifications are visible, stuffed into a single unorganized chunk. Toolbars are no longer free-floating, and you may need to do some serious scrolling to even find the toolbar button you're looking for. And once a toolbar is displayed, there's no way to hide it.
I may be wrong, but I think it's unlikely that many large companies are going to perform massive upgrades to Office 2007. Those that do will require training, regardless of what Microsoft says.
Are the new Office 2007 features worth the effort and frustration? For some, yes. For most, no.
