    Not only that, PC Pro is rehashing some seriously old news in Internet years: Firefox 4.0 theme mockups

    Good job, PC Pro!

    Maybe office 2010 is different but I find the ribbon intuitive. Sure it's different and requires getting used to, but I'm over it.

    Bets on how long until firefox gets either a plugin or forked to remove that if it gets implemented?

    It isn't getting implemented, that's the point. PC Pro made the damn thing up from an (intentional?) misreading of the dev paper and now it's being reported on Slashdot like it's fact.

    When forced to use "the ribbon", it ain't that bad. Just takes getting used to like everything else in newer software.

    Office 2010 is worse than Office 07 - even though it doesn't seem possible.

    Outlook users for 2010 are absolutely fucked as they are taking 10 steps backwards by downgrading the rendering engine (using Word lololol).

    I like Office 2007 quite a bit. When you customize it it's way more efficient. The auto-formatting also sucks a lot less than it has in previous versions of Office.

    Rumor put to rest. No Ribbon for Firefox. From Linked Slashdot Article:
    Update: 09/24 05:01 GMT by T : It's not quite so simple, says Alexander Limi, who works on the Firefox user experience. "We are not putting the Ribbon UI on Firefox. The article PCpro quotes talks about Windows applications in general, not Firefox." So while the currently proposed direction for Firefox 3.7 involves some substantial visual updates for Windows users (including a menu bar hidden by default, and integration of Aero-styled visual elements), it's not actually a ribbon interface. Limi notes, too, that Linux and Mac versions are unaffected by the change.

    I really like the Office 2010 improvements, but I'm not a Outlook User. Having them more standardized—even in Viseo-rocks.

    Firefox would be just plain stupid for using the Ribbon though. The ribbon is only really good at managing a massive number of different options and buttons no need in Firefox. But someone will think it's a good idea and hack it.

    I for one love the 4.0 design mock up Mozilla did, I've been running a set of addons and a theme for a while now that gets close to 4.0.
