You have not been around too long it seems reading what real people are
saying about it.


I have read all kinds of nonsense about it. So much, in fact, that before
I actually installed Office 2007 I was sure I would not like it. But lo
and behold, after actually USING it, I like it.

Who says that menus that disappear as soon as you choose something is the
best way? Choose the wrong item and you have to go back and open the menu
again. Need something else from that menu - that's right, you have to
open it again. And again. And again. How much time do you think has
been wasted opening and re-opening the same menus 50 times a day?

Sorry, tabs are an improvement. It's just shocking to see them used this
way. After using it for a couple of days you find yourself thinking "why
didn't someone think of this before"? Remember, lots of people didn't
"get" tabbed browsing either, until they used it for a couple of days.

I say UBUNTU SUCKS EVEN MORE THAN VISTA for desktop use!
(actually for other reasons though, more of environment and not itself)

But vista is very close into being one of the worse OS's ever made!
(more because itself sucks)

My post is about OFFICE and its stupid ribbon and an idea for a GUI that
should be DESTROYED
BURIED AND FORGOTTEN!

Do us all a favor, put a sock in it.



If you don't like Office 2007, load OpenSores Office on your machine and
STFU!

Rubbish. Put your most frequntly-used commands on the QAT and minimize the
ribbon. That actually gives you MORE space then the old menu-style toolbars.

Im not against tabs as a general design option. The ribbon sucks though ...
Its the implementation thats horrible.

I also think that Office2007 should have had an option to revert back to the
old menu style, and not wait for a 3rd party to do that *there is an add-on
called classic menus for office2007* (shareware) you cannot imagine how many
people have thanked me a million times, some even in tears for me telling
them of the existance of that add on.

Oh yes.. The ribbon is bad.. horrid

Nah.. I think I will keep using it because Im flexible enough to use any
interface, no matter how awkward it is, just because I like to keep myself
accustomed with all latest software that MS makes, and at the same time bash
each crap thing MS makes.

Gesh can you get off my back? you are stalking you know!

My wife is happy that they have not (yet) implemented the ribbon in
Publisher. She is a power user that has just about every possible
button bar active, and she uses them all. She did the same for Word.
Now she grumbles about having to jump back and forth between ribbon
tabs and that the QAT isn't big enough to hold all but buttons that
she uses.

So you personally went and asked most people? I don't think so. Maybe
your nurse told you to say that.

Now they want to use this horrible concept on more stuff...in windows
7.


You are the perfect candidate for Ubuntu. Just your style. You just
can't figure out Vista. Very complicated for someone with your tiny
pea sized brain.

MS still hasnt understood how bad the ribbon design really is! lol...
Most first time users didnt even know that the "jewel" was a button!!!


MS understands more than you do. That is whey they are a billion dollar
company and YOU work for Burger King.


They have the nerve to call the better proven way "old"... !?


Liar


ubuntu is looking better every day MS, keep this up and you will lose
big time!

Ubuntu is perfect for a douche bag like yourself. Why don't you and
Alias go play in the Ubuntu forum


So I guess you like the Ribbon, huh?

Dude, why don't you try discussing the topic, instead blowing hot air?

I've asked you many times in the past and you've never answered. What
design expertise/education/degree(s) (industrial, mechanical, etc) do
you have in order for us to have any faith in your opinion about the
interface design of Vista/Office 2007?
Or is it simply your personal opinion?
Tell us.
