That person in MSWord isn't thinking about the ribbon bar
I think about it every time I'm forced to use it. I think about how much I hate it, how constantly clicking between tabs slows me down, and how much more productive I was without it.
For mainly this reason, I still use Word 2003 and have no plans to switch until the fad passes and someone in UI at Microsoft finally stops designing for the lowest common denominator and remembers the point of toolbars wasn't to replace menus, but rather to put commonly used functions one click away.

I have the latest version of Office installed for when it's needed, I simply prefer doing my serious Word work in '03. I don't think I'd hold up any version of Office as the paradigm of "internet safe" software.
