A question about ribbons - Is there any data differentiating the type of user and their preferences?
I think this is the core question: who is the user? what population uses the software? how skilled are they? do they use the software at home, at work, as professionals or for casual work?
I 100% share Jay's thoughts for that matter.
My thought is that users who heavily use software may prefer menus over ribbons while those who do not use the software much prefer ribbons. And this general trend would true for all types of software. The age may be skewing the results and including more casual users in the younger cohort. The 50+ users did not grow up with computers and many of these casual users do not like to use computers at all and probably would never use anything they did not use at work (eg Windows and MS Office). I find the personality of the user vs ribbon or menu interesting.
