Comment 539 for bug 532633

What do you think would happen if Microsoft said "We're doing away with the Start Menu and Taskbar we've had since 1995. we're going to implement the Ribbon interface instead."

I can guarantee that the corporate users would not deal with that change at all. Companies would balk about the learning curve, how it breaks this or that, etc. Home users would complain to the ends of the Earth, switch to Mac, refuse to upgrade (like the last hardcore hold-outs for XP are doing now), etc.

Livid Lynx...sorry... Lucid Lynx is fast becoming the "Vista with the Ribbon UI" in the minds of many I believe.

Mar. Canonical. LEARN from Microsoft's mistakes.
