It's at File->Account->About <program>. Because it totally makes sense to put the about box under Account...

I should also mention that there isn't even a Help menu anymore, because nobody would have a need for help with anything in Microsoft Office, right? You can still get help if you know about F1 though.

Office left all the keyboard shortcuts the same, at least in excel. Some of the combos hardwired into my fingers are based on menus that no longer exist, but they still work. I don't know if that was good design or not, but i like it.
