I agree 100% Microsoft has an obligation to provide us with the option of a
classic mode. They have failed. If the Office team is still resisting a
classic mode, then that team needs to be fired.

Why? Your "classic" mode is hardly a "classic", having only existed for just
over TEN YEARS....

Simple. There is demand for a classic mode as is illustrated by the third
party add-ons as anyone with half a brain can see.

Umm no. There is a "demand" by SOME people - generally those whose brain
can't cope with anything different to the way it's always been done.
Like you for example.

I find it fascianting that so often the response given by MVPs and Ribbon
advocates is that people who dislike the Ribbon are backward, inflexible, or
stupid.

The fact is, power users who customized their toolbars in Office XP for
maximize their efficiency have been screwed over in Office 2007 because
CUSTOMIZATION has been severely limited with the Ribbons. The Quick Access
bar does allow frequently used items to surface, but it doesn't let you
customize to the same extent that the Office XP toolbars did.

Newbies or people who weren't power users of Office XP will find the Ribbon
helpful, undoubtedly. But the lowest common denominator is not the best
approach to software development: properly developed software should work as
well for newbies as it does for power users. The Ribbon fails utterly in this
regard.

Power Users, who are not stupid, inflexible, or backward--but who are
proactive people who have the intelligence and desire to customize--have been
given fewer customization options in Office 2007. Period. And that is
insulting.
