Great looking silverlight Ribbon bar!! Minimize

I was surfing the web this morning and I came across this impressive Office Ribbon bar implementation by Simon Matthews at Infusion. He has uploaded a demo of the control and at it is mightly impressive.

I will be following his work eagerly as its something so far I think Microsoft has failed to deliver to developers. Why they have not delivered these controls I am not clear, but my hunch is that they are trying to capitalise on the uniqueness of the ribbon bar in office before they allow the rest of us the goodness. Eitherway, great job Simon.
