What bugs me is that these questions are framed differently when it's people copying MSFT. EG - Google spreadsheet's interface. EG - Writely. etc.
Good UI's are copied relentlessly.
- rbanffy 17y agoI don't even know where to start. Google spreadsheets does not look like Excel that much. The only thing in common between them is the button bar and a fake menu bar, but all of that was present in Mac applications well before Multiplan took the shape that inspired Excel on Windows 2. I would even risk that a lot of that was taken from the Xerox Star series.
