In the next version of MS Office, commands that are grayed out will have a tooltip explaining why, and how to ungray them. Also, tooltips will have a link to the relevant usage section of the help file.

Most of the other UI changes are going to take a familiar product and make it screamingly unfamiliar (no more menu, for instance: it's all toolbars), but the enhanced tooltips feel like they're going to be really good and useful features.
