You bring up an interesting point here. What commands have been taken out of the product as a result of this testing?

Just wondering if you are able to determine using your statistical models if a user meant to use the commands they use.

In a simple example if a user clicked Bold and then either turned it of or clicked undo then that may not have been the command they wanted.

Obviously the Office 2007 UI is designed for results so users can get great looking documents faster, will your statistical model for Office 2007 collect data that will indicate how successful the new UI has been?

I have two questions:

Has the 'Floatie' toolbar gotten a declassified name?

And, could you possibly make it customizable? I know you want this new UI to not AutoCustomize, but I am pretty sure that I am never going to use three of those buttons, so could you make it a possibility to customize that, I mean I like the QAT, but I want something like that that will appear when I highlight text.

Exactly a smart floater that guesses based solely on my prior usage what commands i will use, but always retains a consistent order to the buttons (e.g. I often move really fast to select a tool and I don't want the buttons changing order since after a while there will probably only be five or so actions each time and these will only jocky for position statistically). Also make all this editable so i can can hard code my top items easily.
