The Ribbon is great. At it's heart it's like a menu and toolbar, but with big recognizable icons, differently sized touch targets depending on importance, and always-on-screen familiarity.
It would work really well as a "menu" for a touch-based OS, even.

Or just set it to show only tabs and treat it like a fancy menu bar. Or hide it completely and just use the command search feature Office apps have in them now. It is like a command line with amazing auto-complete. Alt-q to jump to search.
