Ribbon Shots

OK, for those interested, here are shots of the ribbon as they shipped in the beta that was released yesterday.  These are more or less finalized – there may be a few tweaks between now and when we are done, but not many. 


There are both XP and Vista versions (thanks Dan!), and I have grouped them by area.  The XP versions are at a resolution of 1024x768, while the Vista versions are at 1600x1200 – this should give you a good example of how the ribbon resizes for different resolutions.

 I read on a blog somewhere that Microsoft is realizing it's mistake and will be allowing the option of continuing use of the previous menu system vs. the Ribbon.
 Is this true?  
 Hope to hear the much desired answer straight from the horse's mouth!  :O>  
Sincerely,
