Ah, but you're forgetting the idiocy with which Microsoft has implemented the ribbon. Because in certain cases, not all those 5-levels-deep options could be collapsed to fit on a particular ribbon, so some ribbons sport a "More..." option. Which is no different than the deeply-nested menus.
Oh, wait -- there is ONE difference. The menus required the eye to scan for items in one direction: down. The ribbon requires you to sweep your eyes left-to-right across the various "fields" of the ribbon, and then around each field until you find what you're looking for.
Maybe it's just that I don't watch much TV, but I never opted for cable or DVRs. The future always seemed destined to be "everything on-demand, from the web". No one would voluntarily *want* to be tied to a viewing schedule, so (except for breaking news and live sports) why should we be?
Eating one grain of table sugar at every meal will probably not harm you in the slightest.
Eating 1 kilo at every meal probably will.
Figuring out the balance is the tricky part.
That is life.

Then your enterprise attitude is woefully wrong.
