Vista - New ribbon UI

Will OneNote and Outlook get the new ribbon UI? Right now it's kinda of
confusing. Shouldn't they keep the look consistent in all office apps?

No, Office Outlook 2007 (main ui) and Office OneNote 2007 interfaces will
not be ribbon based. Outlook - New Items, such as Mail, Calendar
appointments and task windows will utilize the ribbon though.

Do you know what is their reasoning behind this?
Not enough time?

Outlook and OneNote toolbars are not as cluttered as the core Office
applications were.

This is dumb; Outlook and OneNote are the apps that'll be staying on and
used all the time, the ones that the user would keep coming back to and be
looking at the most - not having the sleek new Ribbon UI on them is just
reta.. ..another one of those frustrating design decisions >_<

and having just parts of one app (Outlook) with it while the main view
doesn't is even worse. ugh

I know - but Andre's right - there's no need for the Ribbon as it'll just be
wasted space. Visio is different - it's got many menu options, but you need
more space for the designing you see, that's why they haven't implemented it
there.

LOL - doubt they've even thought that much about the 14's, let alone the 13
series of Microsoft Office ;o)

Ya think? I use almost everything else on my machine more than Outlook and
One Note. We don't all have the same usage patterns ...
