MS: Love the Office Ribbon?
Twig: NO.
MS: LOVE IT MORE!
Please don't ruin Windows 8 with ribbons. As soon as I heard that they were going to be scattered all over the place I was immediately put off by the decision and will chose to stick with Windows 7.

The ribbons suck. Please understand this.
Oh but the ribbons make everything easy to access!
Please refer to the Search Commands plugin from OfficeLabs.

Also, companies are opting NOT to use Office 2007. With big companies with as many staff as 150,000 worldwide, this is a huge mistake on behalf of Microsoft. Think of all the rupees they're losing out on!
There are more arguments here, it's pretty entertaining.
