First experience with Word 2007 was trying to simply open a file on the  
network. The program started and I thought "So how the hell do I open a  
file?" No File, Edit etc. menu; no Open File icon. I flicked through the  
ribbons with no succes and hit F1 which directed me to the big windows  
icon in the top left corner which I hadn't even noticed. I suppose I could  
have tried Ctrl+O, just didn't occur to me at the time.

Yeah as discussed the default behaviour for Vista is the occasional  
behaviour of XP depending on the user configuration.
