Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 6th Aug 2009 13:18 UTC
Features, Office 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.

Blimey that takes me back. I still use Homesite+ on an almost-daily basis (IMO there's not a better text editor on Windows) but with most of the interface clutter switched off.

We've just switched to Office 2007 and all I can say is I'm glad I know the keyboard shortcuts.

I miss homesite as well. It was the first real editor I used, I still think it had/has some superb features that I've not found elsewhere. Such a crying shame that macromedia (now adobe) killed it in favour of dreamweaver.
