​I also liked the ​customized UI by Sourcepole but Tim is right, they had
to fit a really limited set of functionality.

Additonally, for example, the Powerpoint ribbon is as high as four rows of
toolbars on my notebook. And the ribbons cannot be arrange vertically on
the left or right side. This leaves very little map space, particularly on
notebooks.​
