--- Comment #48 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
(In reply to John Mills from comment #47)

I assume Microsoft did spend some money on research on the acceptance of the ribbon or the 
start menu of "Windows 8'. They transition did have some bumps and there were some tweaks.. but 
the didn't go back to before.

Microsoft spent a huge amount of time, money and effort when designing this
interface. I think you will see this if you watch a little of the design
philosophy that went in to this and the effort undertaken. It certainly
wasn't just thrown together. 


And all of that is absolutely irrelevant as LibreOffice makes *no* use of the
Ribbon framework API, which yes is a very rich library. In fact if anything
from a UX perspective it is a very strong argument to *not* use the NB Tabbed
UI as naive users expecting fully implemented API will be confused/disappointed
with the functionality our Glade UI assemblages of UNO controls provide.

I'd anticipate a flood of user requests for 'why doesn't it work like in
MSO'...
