The ribbon is stacked button bars. Navigating the ribbon is as unsettling at stacked tab bars. One nice thing about menus is that you peruse them without clicking. Ribbons force you to hunt and peck through the layers with the mouse. Further, when you have no idea where anything is, it's easier to read the menu labels versus scanning the disparate icons and hovering for tooltips.

Hit Alt the numbers and letters are the shortcuts for moving around the ribbon. That's actually one of my favorite parts of the ribbon, you are able to see what the shortcuts are very easily. The alt trick works on just about anything in windows.
