Infragistics and their Office 2007 UI offering

Office 2007 UI Licensing

"Microsoft has decided to share their ‘significant UI Investment in 2007 Microsoft Office Applications’ with the world by way of a royalty-free licensing agreement giving you access to a comprehensive set of design guidelines.  Basically, all you will be required to do is to accept a simple click-through licensing agreement with Microsoft that will eventually be found on an Office UI Licensing page.

That being said, some of you have called, emailed, or questioned this ambiguous statement (You have no license to the Office 2007 UI) found in our installers for the NetAdvantage For Windows Forms 2006.3 release. 

...

... you’ll notice the “Disable Office 2007 UI Compatibility" button on our toolbarsmanager at design time. Basically, by default and where it is under our control, we try to resolve settings such that they comply with the Office UI Guidelines so that our customers don't inadvertently go against the requirements of the guidelines.

..."

More fallout about Office 2007 UI licensing.

I guess it's time to install NetAdvantage 2006 V3...
