Excel 12: be afraid, be very afraid

I am.

Microsoft has been doing some user testing as part of its development of Office 2007 (or Office 12); hundreds of thounsands of hours of it by all accounts.

While the new ribbon-based interface is apparently more natural and intuitive, "the people who take longer [to adapt to the new interface] are the die hard users; the expert Excel user." This according to Chris Capossela, Microsoft’s Corporate VP on the business side of things.

I’ll get my coat. Does anyone know how I can get a test version to try out?
