Just like they did with Office 2007? I work with a department full of people who despise the O2k7 "ribbon" and have it dual-installed with O2k3 just so they can avoid using 2k7 whenever possible.
I suspect MSFT only tests their interfaces on people who have never turned on a computer before--not people who have developed efficient workflows based on an existing interface.
