But, anyone else trying to implement MS ribbons can get licensed. All I ask is that they follow MS's Ribbon Guideline Book (freely available to licensees).

Does it do some of the smart-collapse stuff that the office 12 one does? kourge : I’m guessing if it has any kind of API you can implement tabs yourself fairly easily.

Why would you need UI/ID folks when you have a dozen developers who want to do something new?
