Honestly, do you really think that if "old users" had the choice, they would switch ultimately on the ribbon ? I don't think so. I continue to see people on XP that use the Windows 2000 Start menu, for example.
Many users, if they're not pushed to change, won't change on their own volition. The need of security in stillness is powerful...
And by the way, as a teacher, I appreciate that these people need formations, so I have work !
