|
||
| Time: 16:09 EST/21:09 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
Ribbon Hero is a concept test for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel 2007 and 2010, designed to help you boost your Office skills and knowledge. Play games (aka "challenges"), score points, and compete with your friends while improving your productivity with Office. As a concept test, this add-in is not supported, but is an opportunity for you to try out an idea we are working on and let us know what you think. For additional challenges and the opportunity to earn more points, download Office 2010 Beta. | ||

very clever and useful training tools.
So often we hear pundits talk about "innovation" - yet they seldom seem to represent people who actually do real work. This is a clear example of great innovation - built by people who do things for people who do things. It won't get much press and won't get much credit, but those that use it will benefit greatly from it. Meanwhile, our press will continue to credit "innovations" that aren't innovative at all. |

While, personally, I like the Ribbon a lot the idea that in order to use the older menu system you have to pay to a third party another $29 on top of the cost of Office is.... disturbing to say the least.
I mean I understand MS intent to push users to use the new UI but people are not all alike; I am a curious mind, open to try new things even in spite of aging, others are not. The change was quite radical and maybe a transition stage could have been useful. Besides it would be easier and encounter less resistance a radical revamp of Windows UI because the OS is used both by business and personal users but.... I am still waiting for it.

#3,
Sure, I can just see telling the CIO that we need to spend $30 each for 25,000 users just so we can take a whack out of the support calls for the problem, when it was a 'feature' no one asked for in the first place. :) |
