hell is chrome

"When the devil came / He was not red / He was chrome, and he said / Come with me / You must go / So I went / Where everything was clean / So precise and towering.  I was welcomed / With open arms / I received so much help in every way / I felt no fear / I felt no fear." (Wilco)

(Update:  chrome isn't hell after all.)

What... in the name of all that is Holy? Is there an in-house contest at MS of which team can fit the most buttons in a single window?

Then again, any app that has a lot of buttons must be com-pli-cat-ed, and that must mean it's very advanced and hitech.

For those wondering what Microsoft was thinking with their "ribbon" UI design - look/listen here to a presentation by Jensen Harris of the Microsoft Office UI team at a BayCHI event in Palo Alto a few months back.

More is better?? omygosh its cluttered!
This is far from good UI design as possible. It just doesn't make sense. Send:Send ???

We've reached the point where it would actually be chocking if MS actually did something that was easy to use, smooth, stable and felt fresh. Something that is not based on win95 libs

This is not the final look and feel of the UI, folks.

Haven't you heard? Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, is doing away with *menus* entirely. Or, as you can see above, semi-entirely. Are they menus, are they toolbars, are they somewhere in between? Yuk.
