'Enchanted Office' Comic Touts Ribbon UI
3rd Jan 07
Microsoft is using a Web-based comic strip to try to reach a broad set of consumers and convince them that they can benefit from the new Ribbon-based user interface found in Office 2007.

While much of the hype leading up to the consumer release of the Office 2007 System later in January has focused on the productivity benefits for knowledge workers, Microsoft has also realized the need for a more general consumer approach, the company said.

The comic, titled "The Enchanted Office: Once Upon A User Interface," is intended as a creative way to broaden the exposure of Office 2007 to the consumer market, a company spokesperson told eWEEK Jan. 3.

But, at the same time, the comic also attempts to address some of the most common questions of IT professionals and the needs of everyday information workers, she said.
