It's a UI thing.

| So here go, with your knowledge of Word for Windows from the last
| 18 years, tell me how to open a document using the mouse. You'll
| most likely answer the open document icon, or File ->Open.
| Congratulations, and you?d be correct.
| 
| Now this is Word 2007. Show me where the File Menu is. Stumped?
| Well it turn's out the Office logo in the corner is the new File
| Menu. Usually the icon in the title bar is the Application menu;
| at least since 1995. Normally you click that and expect to see
| Maximise, Minimise, Resize, etc.

Question: why do I need to upgrade to Office 2007?

| Microsoft, however, claims to have come up with something better
| and more intuitive - the Ribbon. Such a claim begs the question:
| "If the new user interface of Office 2007 is so intuitive, why does
| it have a learning curve?" And it does have a learning curve - a
| very steep learning curve.
