  Microsoft's Office 15: To Metro or not to Metro?
Time: 14:06 EST/19:06 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

The Verge posted on January 31 what author Tom Warren concedes is a rumor — at least at this point — about Office 15 not being a “Metro style” app/suite, but, instead, incorporating some Metro elements to varying degrees in different Office apps. Whether Microsoft would make Office 15 a Metro application is something Microsoft watchers, partners and customers have been wondering about for more than a year. Metro — in case you need a refresher — is a design language and style that Microsoft is using in a number of its products, from Windows Phone to Windows 8. Metro-style apps, in Windows 8 parlance, are “modern, immersive” apps which are developed using the WinRT Windows runtime that was introduced with Windows 8.

They've already hosed it all up with those stupid ribbons, making it take twice as long to get anything done.

Now they want to truly screw it up with a phone interface.

WTF Microsoft.

Bill needs to go back and get that frat-house back under control.

Ballmer is becoming the Chris Bangle of Software Development.
