It still looks like the old version.

Agreed.
The 2007 ribbon is not merely for aesthetics.
Instead of the ribbon, programmable keyboard shortcuts is a better
answer. Include programmable combos with the mouse and keyboard and you
get a killer. Say you are using the pen and want to change to pointer, a
Shift+Click would be nice for some people; others might prefer Alt+Right
Click. A program like ON is used (very) frequently so we don't need all
of the commands in our face. We need to quicken the usage of the ones we
use the most (and they vary per user, thus they must be programmable
shortcuts). The ribbon (1) takes my hands back to the mouse, and (2)
still require more clicks than keyboard shortcuts.

I agree with you on that. But you'll have to agree with me that IntelJosh said:1) (Hector) Keyboard shortcuts are useless to Tablet PC users that
represent a large portion of OneNote users. The ribbon is far better
for pen use than the command bar, plus the ribbon commands could be
shortcut driven as well.
Please, no ribbon in OneNote! The ribbon, as it appears in Word, is
a space hog that actually slows down my work. (Fortunately, one can
minimize it.) It would just make OneNote, which is a relatively
fluid program now, more difficult to use.

and a option to choose from ribbon and old standard look.
I think it would be safe to assume that Microsoft intends to standardize
the interface across the entire Office suite at some point in the future.
Just my opinion, of course.

me.
While all the little icons can take up half the screen if they are all
open,
I am able to work quite efficently with only one row open at a time. Now,
with the ribbon, I am forced to have 3 to 4 rows open at oncewhich is a
major
interference.
