Preview the Office 2007 Ribbon-Like UI Floated For OpenOffice.Org 617

Posted by timothy on Wednesday August 05, 2009 @04:22PM from the trial-balloon-target-practice dept.

recoiledsnake writes "OpenOffice.org has prototyped a new UI that radically changes the current OO.o interface into something very similar to the new ribbon style menus that Office 2007 introduced and which have been extensively used throughout Windows 7. The blog shows a screenshot of the prototype in Impress (the equivalent of PowerPoint), but this UI is proposed to be used across all OO.o applications. Some commenters on the Sun blog are not happy about OO.o blindly aping Office 2007, and feel that the ribbon UI may be out of place in non-Windows operating systems."

It was only a hunch until you posted on Slashdot as well.
