Dessimat0r Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 It looks great, if you ask me. Better than parts of the Windows Vista UI, in fact.

fpd Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 It is rubbish for power users (imo) - more clicks of the mouse to get what you want. I'm used to using toolbars where i know i can use any command I need with a single click without looking through a stack of ribbons.

icecaveman Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 lol you 1337 BS guys saw your horizontal slot shut. It's one of the best interface I remember seeing in my life. Bringing Windows further to task oriented approach that people can get familiar with in way shorter time than the old fashioned way.

notuptome2004 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 officetabs.bmpTabs as highlighted in the image . Each tab incorperates everything you had to look for or did not know was ther and each tab then pulls below the dabs informatiosn and tool sets and options based on that Tab. as shown in PDC bruadcast.

Bhav Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 i like it. it's a big change, which seems to allow a lot of customisation and better accessibility.

mdtaUK Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Whats up with Frontpage. Why is it always left till last. 2003 was the first Frontpage upgrade worth getting, now they leave it without the ribbon interface, I bet even stupid crappy publisher gets the new look!!!

I can tell they're trying, but it's so damn cluttered. It's just overwhelming. I can't think of a better way off the top of my head to display the myriad options that MS shoves into Office, but there has got to be one. 586517557[/snapback] if you have noticed there all on tabs. so it's not really all that cluttered. An i'm pretty sure u customize the toolbar.

xp1ode Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Im really excited about the new office look, i think it looks great, and just seems to be easier to understand, you have everything rite infront of you. But i guess we'll have to wait and see how the final product performs compared to the previous versions...

extremejoseph Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Is it just me, or does the tabs seem to resemble like it came from Windows Media Player 10? But I think it looks great!

JK1150 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Needs a lot of work, too cluttered and messy right now in my opinion. I do think it is heading in the right direction though.
