secretGeek.netOfficeQuest... Gamification for the Office Suite
While the evil makers of Candy Crush Saga are busy filing for their IPO, now is the time for Microsoft to add awesome Gamification features to their stalled Office Suite.
With help from Indie game developer Thomas White, here's our vision for "OfficeQuest". If you're listening, new Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, this is the fresh idea your looking for to give the company a jolt of adrenaline and turn your CEOship into a new golden age for Microsoft!
Googling for 'What Satya Nadella should do' showed me that a lot of people have already made a lot of suggestions for the good man to follow up. But my real suggestion is that Windows should build a real app store. With first class support for install, update, uninstall and purchase of real desktop apps. That would be awesome.

Great presentation. I'm sure they'll get right on it. With luck, they'll add it to Visual Studio: 1 star for every unit test you write.

Believe it or not, they already did that. It's called Ribbon Hero. The original was from when they first introduced the ribbon-style controls (Office 2010?) but it looks like they've maybe updated it.
