It was real fucking fun arriving in the workforce college educated with computer literacy classes on my transcripts not knowing how to run MS Office because they changed it out from under me. Even if the ribbon interface is objectively superior, they just dumped it on people.

My father found, buried on Microsoft's website, a tool (I think written in Silverlight because it was about that time) that simulated MS Office 2003, you could click on a function, and then it would play an animation about how to do that function in Office 2007. This wasn't advertised and it wasn't shipped on the disc with Office '07, which NEEDED a retraining tool.

Office '10 was different yet again, and they also shifted a lot from XP to Vista to 7 to 8 to 8.1 and that's when I switched to Linux.
