new ribbon ui

Will OneNote and Outlook get the new ribbon UI? Right now it's kinda of confusing. Shouldn't they keep the look consistent in all office apps?

No, Office Outlook 2007 (main ui) and Office OneNote 2007 interfaces will not be ribbon based. Outlook - New Items, such as Mail, Calendar appointments and task windows will utilize the ribbon though. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Do you know what is their reasoning behind this? Not enough time?

Outlook and OneNote toolbars are not as cluttered as the core Office applications were. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

This is dumb; Outlook and OneNote are the apps that'll be staying on and used all the time, the ones that the user would keep coming back to and be looking at the most - not having the sleek new Ribbon UI on them is just reta.. ..another one of those frustrating design decisions >_<
and having just parts of one app (Outlook) with it while the main view doesn't is even worse. ugh

I know - but Andre's right - there's no need for the Ribbon as it'll just be wasted space. Visio is different - it's got many menu options, but you need more space for the designing you see, that's why they haven't implemented it there.

LOL - doubt they've even thought that much about the 14's, let alone the 13 series of Microsoft Office ;o)
