The Office 2007 UI Bible

I've started reading a lot about UI in the last couple of months. During the Office 2007 beta process I run into some blog posts from Jensen Harris that I found interesting but I never followed his blog.

Now I found a post that aggregates all the content about the Office 2007 UI, and it's a fascinating read.

I had an ambivalent relationship with the Ribbon but after reading about it I love it ;).

You're right about the ribbon. It sounds much better after you read about its design.

It might be a great difference for first time users than for anyone used to the hierarchical menus but it'll be interesting to see if we all catch up to liking it ...

Yeah I have to agree with the comments about the ribbon. Most users will hate it at first. Then when they realize its the way of the future, they will accept it. Then they will learn to love it.
