Yes, and no one mentions that he's including the _host window_ of the virtual machine in the more offending version! I mean come on, it's absolutely disingenuous. The ribbon bar example in fact consumes less vertical space. A _massive_ portion of the white space is from the page display mode where Word 9x uses non-WYSIWYG and the modern one uses the real page layout with page margins. Well of course that's going to introduce a lot of white space because there is on the paper!
