You can get some images from the early dev versions here.

Microsoft Office is a very good product. The new ribbon interface is a real winner. It's really really good.

Actually the new interface of the next office installment is too confusing/irritating

, although i have used it only 2-3 times , but the reviews are that the new interface is really useful. Lets see..

it is not going to have the same Ribbon UI of Windows version. Insted it will have a more Mac-ish UI in the form of element containers or something. Don't know the name though
