The Microsoft programmers are mindless sadistic bastards who want to waste our disk space.

Looks okay, until you realize you need to mouse over each and every unknown button when looking for a new function. You can't just glance at menus and go "ah! Paragraph! It's probably there!".

Compared to mousing over buttons and reading tooltips reading menu text -is- pretty much glancing, yes.

Icons, not buttons. Big difference.
And judging how it works from those small and limited screenshots showing that really only show... the front page of word, is kinda unfair. At least try it before making such an asumption.

Umm, no. Functionally, icons and buttons are almost identical.

So they actually removed menus? Jesus Christ, why can't they leave something alone!? Whatever happened to "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?
