LoveTheIRS's Journal: NBOR: Will Revolutionize UI?

Yahoo news writes about a new software program named NBOR that in one user interface replaces the functions "word processing, desktop publishing, slide show presentations, graphics, drawing, animations, audio, photo cropping, instant messaging, real-time conferencing, password protection and more..." This software has supposedly been under secret development for the last ten years and it supposedly is 500,000 lines of code. Will this be the Killer App that single handedly kills M$ Office, Pagemaker, Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, Pro Audio Tools, and makes M$ security look like even more of a Joke? Or will it flop or be bought out?

My Take On this ?Revolutionary? Software

So far judging by their website, it doesn't look like this NBOR is going to be getting very far. Their Website looks rather unprofessional and simple.

I'm impressed with the buzz they're getting. Someone releases a product they think is exciting and revolutionary every day, but most of them are ignored by the media until they have something concrete to show. NBOR must have read the same marketing how-to books as Dean Kamen.

Anyway, I'm skeptical but interested, so I'll check back tomorrow and see what they've come up with.
