Many of those features are also available on Win. 7 and XP.

Windows 10 sucks rocks. Cute toy for kids who don’t care about being productive. But to actually accomplish something it’s annoying. And don’t get me started on Office Suite 360, 2016, or even 2007 and their ridiculous ribbon menus.

I use Office 2000 on Windows 10. I only install Word and FrontPage from it. No ribbons that you don’t like. IOW Word 2000 works fine.

Even on Win7, I still revert to Word 97, Excel 97, Publisher 97 and similar old programs to be productive.

I can have the task done on them by the time I would figure out which ribbon menu has what I need in the ‘free’ versions that came with Win 7.

Why all the angst about the ribbon?
Just right click on the ribbon and choose to collapse it. All you are left with is the old drop down menus.

Ah, you must be one of those rare Windows users who desires to get work done, instead of gaming. :-)

Just kidding, mostly...

And it all comes in one color: blazing white. It’s as bad to look at as it is to use.
