And I don't experience the long hover time as you do.<br />It took along time for me to accept ribbon in AutoCAD. But I love it in Revit and Inventor. Task based tools work perfectly on them.<br />One thing you need to know, MicroStation has this 'task based' tools navigation since XM. No, it doesn't look like ribbon, but works just like ribbon.<br />Maybe this is why Autodesk decided to implement ribbon, as Microsoft use it now (but not for all products, sadly). It still a long shot to expect all application will use ribbon. But if Microsoft use it, there's a tiny chance it will become a 'Windows compliant' requirement. I want to be ready when it comes. :) @gflowers:
