The OpenOffice.org team has been experimenting with a new user interface for the suite of programs, and they've presented the first rough prototype of this new interface, more specifically for Impress. The general gist? It's Microsoft Office 2007's ribbon interface.

Oo, look a UI, and it takes up around 10% of the screen.
I have news for you: When I write, as I have done so for over 200,000 words, the only thing that shows is the "Close Fullscreen" box, the one that I want an option to shut off. I have more mews for you: when I use writer, the "Main" toolbar is always off; the formatting bar can stay.
You have it all wrong, and so does MS. Different does not equal better. Being open means being smart enough not to worry about the yearly model change.
