      @charlesarthur @codinghorror True. It's new. From people I see, you have to use Windows 8 for quite a bit before you start to like it a lot.

      @jackschofield Microsoft fans said that about Office 2007 and ribbon, it still makes me scream till I'm spitting blood @charlesarthur

      @JamesFirth @charlesarthur Odd. Ribbon is a dramatic improvement and Office 2007 quickly became the fastest-selling version. I love it ;-)

      @jackschofield Ribbon takes 100 pixels from height of the screen at a time when laptops etc went widescreen, amongst other offences!

      @JamesFirth Why on earth would you keep it open? Close it, and it probably takes up less space than Notepad... (Not using Quick Access Bar?)

      @jackschofield Found nothing that worked smoothly as 2003, I now have a deep-seated hatred of Word that I never had before 2007

      .@JamesFirth Ribbon vs Notepad: not much in it. Put commands you use most often on the Quick Access Toolbar http://twitpic.com/belogx

      @jackschofield It's just so clunky clicking to enable, finding the command, hiding again. Hate hate hate. I know that is a personal issue!

      @JamesFirth Seriously, you're talking baloney. It's one click to open when needed, and it's now much easier to find commands than before.

      @jackschofield @JamesFirth to clarify, James isn’t talking baloney; he’s reporting how he uses. User failure or UX failure?

      @charlesarthur @jackschofield @JamesFirth Has there ever been a UI that's been universally loved? Not necessarily a "failure" on either part

          @bazzacollins @charlesarthur @JamesFirth Oddly enough, even horrid UIs often have fans who are experts at using them. And hate improvements.

          @bazzacollins @jackschofield @JamesFirth doesn’t have to be loved; but the best ones let you easily discover easiest path to solution.

          @charlesarthur @jackschofield @JamesFirth Agreed, but I'm with Jack. Ribbon makes it 10x easier to find features than Office 2003 did.

          @bazzacollins @charlesarthur @JamesFirth Ribbon replaced 250 menu items, 33 toolbars (16 icons on each) and 19 task panes in Word, so yes...

          @jackschofield @bazzacollins @JamesFirth suggests a very slight feature creep in previous versions.

          @charlesarthur @bazzacollins @JamesFirth Office users always ask for new features. MS had a long list. Also, it knows how often they're used

          @jackschofield @bazzacollins @JamesFirth intriguing how those rarely-used new features couldn't be filled by third parties via add-ons.

          @charlesarthur @bazzacollins @JamesFirth A lot of them are. Or by people recording macros, or by in-house VBA programmers.

          @jackschofield @bazzacollins @JamesFirth 750+ things were in the pre-ribbon office by your figure. That seems incompatible with good UI.
