We’ve been following the enhancements made to Windows 8. In a previous post we looked at the various teams writing for Windows 8, and today were going to look at one of the new visual features of Windows 8, the Office Style Ribbon, in the Windows 8 File Explorer. Lets look at some of the examples of what we’ve come to be familiar with in Office.

As previously we’re not violating NDA, were quoting a public source, the Windows 8 development Blog

Here’s the opportunity – Microsoft WANTS to hear your opinion, and here’s a chance to make yourself heard. If you absolutely hate what you see and are able to articulate why, then mosey over to the Windows 8 development blog, and make yourself heard.
