Unfortunately, I've got the imagination (and at times, it seems, sense) of a house-brick.
Not a single word of my post is a lie. I couldn't make the stuff up if I tried. 
His name is Arthur Carnes IV, the site was RogueSci.org and here's a couple of choice snaps of the b@stard.

Mr 'pop-bottle' went by the name of "Chris The Great"

Just wanted to make sure that you know that I was not being sarcastic, I actually believe you as everything hangs together in the story.

 Cheers mate, no - there's no problem. You didn't come across as sarcastic. I hope my response didn't come across poorly. I'm like a sponge for stories like that and figured some more info would give you the means to look into any further if desired.
The range of human behaviour is both awe-inspiring and truly stupefying at times. The most interesting things always happen around the fringes, I think. Psychopaths are a truly fascinating bunch.

I heard somewhere about a driver who adjusted the nozzle of the passenger side window washing fluid sprayer so it sprayed up and over the top of his car.
When someone followed to close, he juiced them.

Why then VS does not use it? Ok, I'm quite happy that VS does not use it.

Well...they said much the same about Win 8 / Metro ... and look how popular that was!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

it's like a Ferrari! It's the ultimate car!
But you don't use to shop grocery at your local super market, the boot is too small!!
Or to fight raptor, you might damage it!

Most probably I don't get the point, but this is a question of my weak english.
For me: Ribbon != Ferrari

It was sarcasm, meant to illustrate each tool is only good when used for what it has been designed for!
Ribbon is great when your app has zillion of toolbars. In fact I personally hate toolbars. And I do love the Ribbon in Office 2013!

Ribbon is the ultimate GUI if I believe in MS
Did you dig this up from material from 2007?

No dear it was Office 2013 +-

Group A at Microsoft really needs to talk to Group B.

What Microsoft says and what I say are two very different things. Who you gonna believe?

When did 'ultimate' become synonymous with 'best'. Reaching the ultimate point in a journey does not mean that you haven't taken a wrong turn and driven up a narrow lane straight into a river (a standard journey using satnav, in other words!)

I think the ribbon definitely has its place. I've been using it more for desktop applications that have 20-30 main functions that are used regularly. I find it works well for fairly intuitive applications for which I want to provide a minimum of documentation or training.
Used in applications like Word or Excel it is great at exposing the functionality that 90% of people use. For power users it can be maddening. When I'm writing a technical manual, it is frustrating to switch between rows of styles and different tabs.
Context sensitivity helps with this, and I could see visual studio working ok for many developers with a ribbon, but there are so many available functions that often need to be used one after another from different categories, that the current old-school toolbar may work better.
