Hi Telesto,

You make some very interesting points, I just wanted to pick up on one of them
regarding the 'Ribbon' interface. 

> I assume Microsoft did spend some money on research on the acceptance of the ribbon or the start menu of "Windows 8'. They transition did have some bumps and there were some tweaks.. but the didn't go back to before.

Microsoft spent a huge amount of time, money and effort when designing this
interface. I think you will see this if you watch a little of the design
philosophy that went in to this and the effort undertaken. It certainly wasn't
just thrown together.

I know it is fashionable in some segments of the FLOSS community to hate on
Microsoft, I understand, embrace, extend and extinguish but what people can't
do is call their Office suite garbage. It isn't. There is a reason why it is
used by over 90% of Office users worldwide. It is good, very good.

I encourage you to spend a little time, and anyone else reading this, just to
watch a little and understand some of the thought and design process that went
in to Microsoft Office 2007. 

I understand the objections to telemetry but look in that video just how useful
it can be when making decisions.
