Unlike your suggested "few days" - It took me two years to finally make the migration to the ribbon UI concept, but now that I have - it's hard to believe that I ever used the "menu" UI. For those who love keyboard shortcuts, there is still a keyboard shortcut (discoverable) for all those ribbon options.
In many ways, though - you are right. The transition to the Windows 8/Metro environment is a lot like the transition to the ribbon toolbar. Something that is despised by pretty much everyone at the start. The question that remains is whether people (who make the transition) will love Windows 8 as much as they love the ribbon toolbar.
