PoyBoy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 looks kinda stupid to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 You know what else strikes me as stupid? OpenOffice has had contextual menus since version 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The first of the twit network's podcasts (i'm so not saying netcast) on windows had extensive coverage on the new office. you can't change the menus, :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 See, thats why anything gui wise thats souly designed by geeks looks like a windows 95 reject. You all have no sense of style ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoyBoy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 What is its function? How well Does it do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (src: Wikimedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Off...2007#The_Ribbon Basically its a pretty contextual menu that replaces the dropdown menus. Personally I like the new style, fits well with vista and kinda looks like a renegade band of Apple designers stormed Redmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
