Word and WordPad

Posted by Joseph on 5/18/2010 10:59 PM | Comments (2)

I was looking at Word 2010 and WordPad (in windows 7) SxS today. There were a few things that occurred to me.

  • The tech support folks are going to hate this.
  • Two different teams, two code bases, two sets of icons, two sets of test cases, two ribbon implementations, two release cycles - all from the same company.
  • I wonder if the bottom one is what WordPad in Windows 8 will look like?
  • Dam, Word 2010 looks nice.
