OriginalGriff wrote: the $#*&$ing Ribbon will die a death
I really hope so, I've been using libreoffice even though I have the MS office also installed (work insisted), just because of that stupid ribbon that clutters the screen and slows me down looking for crap.

I'm still waiting for them to restore color printing from VS. VS color codes the source on the screen so why not printed code? Earier version of VS did this.

What is it with this anti-ribbon thing? It is faster and more intuitive than the old menu system. I changed to it when it was still in beta many years ago because it was so well thought out. (Maybe 10% of use-cases needed help in the first days). Screen real estate is a problem if you are using an old small-scale crt monitor but thewn you can hide the ribbon and call it up by clicking on the tab of need.
I found when all machines where i worked were using the ribbons, many users were nervous and confused but five or 10 minutes of effective training and they needed no more support.
I can understand the initial unfamiliarity (especiaaly if people look for options by habit rather than logic) but, with appropriate will, most users never look back. Whenever I have to support an older Office with menus/buttons it feels really, really clunky.

I agree, I don't see how Mike could hold this in such Beauregard.

Talking about the Wong Lee sounds like you're talking about a Chinese mafia-like group that rules the black market rice trade.
