Despite Microsoft's move towards so called ''Ribbon'' based navigation, every other application still relies on menus to provide an easy way for users to navigate around a user interface. In fact, the jury is still out on whether ''Ribbon'' style interfaces of the type found in Microsoft Office 2007 are actually easier to use than menus.
