It seems Microsoft is going down. Not that I'm happy about it but I thought something like that will never happen in my lifetime. I guess the saying "never say never" is true after all.
If Jensen Harris designed a car, he would put the steering wheel in the boot, the gas pedal in the glove compartment, and have a big shiny icon on the dashboard saying 'Go'...
The man is an idiot and shouldn't be let anywhere near a computer, let alone allowed to design user interfaces for Microsoft, which hundreds of millions of people are FORCED to use... (by our employers, who are also too stupid to care about the effects this has on their staff).
just another guy paid by MS....! Don't bother....that's why nobody cares about Jensen HArris blog, and why there you find only positive feedback...they censor negative feedback
Jensen Harris you are the KING of the IDIOTS....put that damn ribbon up your large A44...windows 8 stands a chance against Lion just because Apple decided to screw with the interface or maybe because they hired somebody from YOUR team
it seems you guys want a new type of user the Orwellian user...
Looks like Windows Phone 7 which flopped and is 10 years behind! Where is the 3D??? Everything is going 3D!!! Samsung Galaxy S2 3D the phone will be called the Galaxy 3D and would face the likes of the LG Optimus 3D and the HTC EVO 3D. Windows 3D? Office 3D? P.S. You are showing us Windows Version 6.2!!
@wyrdwyrd "You also presume to know that some guy who's employed by a major company (even if they are the Evil Empire) and who spent years on the redesign of an interface also knows nothing of interface design."
Yes, I "presume" to know... because I can SEE how crap his 'interface' is. And most people agree with me! And Harris won't give people the simple OPTION of using the old drop down menu interface, precisely because he knows MOST of us would choose it.
There will be early versions of Windows 8 available for download later this year which you can comment on to your heart's content. This is how Microsoft have done things for years - they gather statistics on how you use the software, in addition to your feedback, and use that to create a better product. They do listen to people.
If you hate the Ribbon UI so much, why don't you use UbitMenu or minimise it and use the keyboard shortcuts?
I can't use UbitMenu because, like hundreds of MILLIONS of people, I am FORCED to use the Ribbon by my employer. You idiot.
The keyboard shortcuts are hardly an intuitive way to use the Ribbon. Again, you're an idiot. Anybody who defends the pile of crap that is 'the Ribbon' is an idiot.
This video just shows how stupid Jensen Harris and his team of idiots is - every time they come up with a WORSE interface for the user.
@packoftwenty I may be an idiot, but I was only trying to help. If you can't even be bothered to learn a few keyboard shortcuts to make your life easier and avoid the Ribbon you hate so much, then it's your problem. I'd suggest getting in touch with Microsoft via Connect if you have such strong opinions. They're highly unlikely to respond to mindless rants on YouTube.
@wyrdwyrd mate I have an office full of non-programmers (office workers... you know people who work in an office) and every last one of them hate the ribbon.
@wyrdwyrd I suggest you Google 'Why Microsoft's Ribbon sucks' and read the comments. Hundreds of comments. You know nothing about user interface design, and neither does Jensen Harris...
@wyrdwyrd I'm one of the most users that thinks Office 2007 onwards is pure CRAP...you can't stop the net you can't bullshit here...Ms Office 2007 is just CRAP

You're just used to crap windows UI and resist to learn something new.
W8 UI is awesome. Classical Windows UI is seriously dated and unusable on tablets.
Ribbon feels like 90's Amiga apps and it is user friendly and nice,
