Re: [nebula-dev] New component proposals

Hi Chris,

We all share the same concerns and I highlighted them in the filed CQ
[1]. It might be interesting what happens when Microsoft releases their
Ribbon with Windows7 [2] - maybe they change their policy then?

We'll see what the IP-Team tells us and then we can then decide what
actions are needed. It would be so great to have such a nice control
available across OS-boundries.

Tom
