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

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.
