to some extent i can't really buy this argument. office 2007 still accepts office 2003 keyboard shortcuts, so if an expert is completely at home with 03 he or she should still be able to function normally in 2007+ without needing to visit the ribbon very much. i was quite happy with this - the ribbon is there, but it forces nothing on me. i was happily smashing away until i one day decided to pay attention and saw the yellow dialog box over the ribbon which said something like 'office 2003 shortcut'. if an lotus 1-2-3 superuser for some reason really couldn't change his spots after 30 years, excel 2010 still keeps / as a menu shortcut for those folks, even though lotus shortcuts no longer work.
