Office 2010 Ribbon: Now with more glass


Recommended Posts

Two recent screenshots of Outlook 2010 reveal that the glass frame will be extended down to include the tab section of the ribbon, just like the address bar in Explorer/IE7/IE8 in Vista/7.

Hmm, looks nice... but they better make sure it works with Aero Snap. Office 2007 does not. (Actually, neither does Google Chrome or Safari 4.)

IE8 does though, so I hope they can get it right.

Office 2007 does work with aero snap. Atleast on build 7077.

The Windows 7 ribbon fully supports Aero Snap, so I can't see it being an issue for Office 2010.

Office 2007 does work with aero snap. Atleast on build 7077.

Really? Including restoring the window (from the maximised state)? In build 7000, maximising and snapping to the left/right edges works, but not restoring.

so turn glass off? Or turn the transparency lower. Having "Glass" in "windows" makes sense when you think about it. It's just odd they didn't do it sooner since even back in Win2k they supported transparency.

    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
