WinExtra: RibbonBar mimicry from OpenOffice – too funny

  • Rick Mahn · 4 months ago
    Huh, strange. While I didn't mind the ribbon much when I moved to Office 2007, I *do* find it very curious that OpenOffice would copy such a feature. Kinda upsetting in a way as I always found OpenOffice to be the essence of knowledge worker tools - all the things you needed, but not much of the stuff you didn't.

    I think the ribbon *is* more efficient, it was a surprise to me when it showed up, and the learning curve was very short but rather steep. In my case it also coincided with a rapidly approaching deadline, an almost finished report and a quick switch to a computer using the new office.

    I don't get it. Those look nothing alike.
