Lol! BTW: The younger (LO) users are the more they accept Ribbons [1]. Ribbon controls intend to show all at once, as Astron says. Additionally, MS wants to get rid of the main menu for touch screen use. The trade-off is that some, seldom used function were "menuized", ie. placed into pulldown controls. But those menus thwart the idea of a toolbar: fast access to a few functions. The idea behind is nevertheless worth to discuss, but for the purpose of strategical decisions (where LO wants to go) and not singular improvements (simpler toolbar).
