Wordpad and Paint received a new interface, with a ribbon similar to Office 2007. It's a change for the better, because all the options are now visible (they're on a single tab). Calc was upgraded with a programmers and statistical view, as well as a unit converter and date calculator.

I've been using office 2007 for a while now...
I want to stab whoever came up with the "ribbon" in the face, it's awful and takes up too much screen space for useless eye candy graphics, and makes it near impossible to find what you need. Traditional menus are much more efficient.

I have a totally opposite opinion - I'm in love with the new interface, it's much faster to use. It does take some getting used to, since the layout (while rather intuitive most of the time) is completely different than the old one.

Installed on the laptop. I love it, just hope that the release version will not be full of bloat.

Well if the pattern follows, the final will be bloaty. Didn't a number of the Longhorn betas perform more nicely than Vista final does overall?

Nope. Don't remember about the bloat though.
