You admit that you don’t understand the difference between the ribbon UI and tabbed layouts, yet assert that the ribbon design is “obvious”?

- bostonpete 9y agoA ribbon UI essentially is a tabbed layout, isn't it?
- ovao 9y agoIt is, essentially, with the addition of context-sensitive controls and elements. Or at least that's my very layman's interpretation of the patents.
- meuk 9y agoAs far as I can see the 'ribbon' style is a tabbed layout which uses big buttons with pictures. So with the prior art of tabbed layout and of buttons with pictures, the ribbon style brings nothing new to the table.
