Thanks, Jennifer, and hello, all; I've just joined your list.
I'm wondering if the ribbon is a solution for a large (overly complex) set of
features where the speed of user performance is not a primary design driver?
Also, I don't yet have Vista installed on my computer, so I confess I'm not
really sure what my Dev team (which is 16 hours ahead in Australia; I'm in
Canada) means when they say "Vista menus" -- is this just a menu bar?
My original question:
One of my design teams is asking me: "Should we follow
the Office standard of the ribbon, the Vista standard of
the drop-down menu (menu bar), or a hybrid of the two?
Wow, just what I always wanted: a vague question about
standards that has no right answer and huge consequences.

Subject: Office or Vista - That is the Question
Yesterday, the following message came in on a local, but low bandwidth, UE list
I'm on:
One of my design teams is asking me: "Should we follow
the Office standard of the ribbon, the Vista standard of
the drop-down menu (menu bar), or a hybrid of the two?

I thought the question might get more traction here, seeing as the IxDA list
has a much larger membership. I've CC'd Jerome, the original poster, who you
might want to include on any replies as I don't know if he's on this list.
