---------------- comments about xDesign ---------- We actually did talk with the xDesign team earlier when we came up with the idea. We showed a preliminary prototype, and the feedback was quite positive, although the feedback was mostly about the concept of command assistant, not necessarily around the detailed UI design. We don't plan to integrate it as it is. We will talk to xDesign team again to start detailed UI design discussion. > For instance, I would tell you, and hope they would too, that "clipboard" has > a well known meaning of being the temporary buffer for copy and paste, and > what you call a clipboard is probably more of a "notebook". Good suggestion, we will find a meaningful name for this "notebook". > I'd also ask why > the application is split into three uneven windows with different looks to > each. > > It's a prototype for Command Assistant. Anyway as I mentioned above, we will have a detailed discussion with xDesign team to finalize UI. Thanks. Regards, Jeffrey
