Microsoft Taking Some Risk?

Is Microsoft taking a big risk?  Maybe -- the new version of Office dramatically changes the menu/toolbar interface that's been around since the early Macs. You can find a description of their design goals here.  Also, here's a blog that illustrates the interface for the common Office applications.  It also shows the new command tabs and contextual command tabs.  This could be interesting.  The question is, "Will it be enough for legions of relatively satisfied Office 2000 and Office 2003 users to upgrade?"

I still wouldn't want to be Steve Balmer in these interesting times!
