Microsoft is working hard on its new operating system, and it is sending the test versions of Windows 8 to the PC manufacturers. We have got an opportunity to have a look at its new and improved user interface.

It looks like Microsoft is determined to replace the standard toolbars with Windows 8, and it seems Ribbon will replace the toolbars that have been a part of Windows Explorer for decades. Ribbon has been introduced with Office 2007 and 2010, and we can even see it in Windows 7 applications such as Wordpad and Paint. As you know, Ribbon put a great number of menu options and put them into fluid and dynamic menu bar,which is perfect for all tablet users. So far, we don't know whether users have an option to switch back to the standard interface.

Ribbon interface is a welcome change to the Windows 8 user interface, but it will take some time for users to adjust to it, so it's a risky addition that might do more harm than good.
