Maybe you should have read the whole article?...

Update: Office Rocker Darren Strange says this is not a concession at all:

There has been a little flurry of rumours on the blogsphere including the ever excitable slashdot that we have radically changed the ribbon, making it much smaller. Some are saying that we are even backing away from the ribbon or that we received "complaints" that it was too big.

I've checked with the source that is Jensen and his team and this is not the case. All we can think of is that somebody got confused about the minimised ribbon feature which has been in there from the beginning. There have been some recent improvements to the way the minimised ribbon works I suppose - e.g. a sort of "autohide" so that now it will return to a minimised state after using a feature.

Thanks. The portable is much better for testing out these beta's.

The TomTom is awesome, I got one last week and love it. Now I just can't wait to get my free flash drive from Microsoft ( http://www.cybernetnews.com/?p=371 )

Vista 5308 just got released...

First a free domain name from Buy.com today (instructions are here: http://www.cybernetnews.com/?p=356 ), and now this giveaway! Things are looking up for me!

The thought of having two lenses is impressive, but the original Kodak didn't impress me much. And I can't say that having the little Olympics logo really changes the camera. I think they are just being ridiculous at this point!

I think that it is a good idea to merge the two systems, but I think they first need to focus on perfecting the Tablet PC. I have a Tablet PC and it runs a little hot and the cost is a little higher than it needs to be. I would like to see the Tablet PC's fall down to the price range that some laptops are going to: around $600 - $700!

Of course I admire Google, they actually have a backbone! I didn't even realize MSN was still used for searching :D
