Vaclav Krejci shows that the flat look of Apple's iOS 7 interface can be reproduced almost entirely with shapes and effects in Microsoft Word. The video is a short demo, with the .docx file offered for download.

HN people submitted it when iOS 7 landed as a funny, pointed demonstration of how simple the new flat visual style was to build.
