I completely agree and its on my wishlist in the Community Clubhouse. Live Photo Gallery and Live Mail could also make use of it as well, but writer is a natch for the ribbon in my opinion , its a no brainer!

Completely agree. +1

It would also be nice if Microsoft also Used the scenic ribbon in Windows Live Mail since the UI is baffling. (Make it like a cut down version of Outlook 2010)
