Jensen Harris from the Office 2007 design team gave a very rare presentation at Microsoft's MIX08.
Farewell, menus and toolbars! Come hear the behind-the-scenes story of how the 2007 Office Ribbon user interface was imagined, designed, and validated. See never-before-shown early prototypes, hear about mistakes we learned from during the design process, and find out the principles of user experience design we used each step of the way in creating the first totally new user interface for Office.

@gobipie The prick who headed the team of assholes who designed 'The Ribbon' and then FORCED it onto hundreds of millions of people, that's who. These videos actually prove what a bunch of idiots they are- showing us all their OTHER ridiculously stupid and unfriendly user interface designs - you would have thought they would want to HIDE them - but they're so arrogant and stupid that they think the public are going to be impressed by their OTHER failures! Assholes!

It sure was nice of the cretins behind 'The Ribbon' to show us their 'thought' processes (if you can call them that) - to show us how STUPID they were, and how pathetically inept they were at coming up with a better user interface...
Why didn't they get it right the first time? Why did it take millions of dollars to eventually get to 'The Ribbon', of all things? Epic fail.
