Yup, that would be a very good place to ask. Also worth noting is the
Wine "registry" which records the locations of the installed
applications - you can't simply move a directory, especially a
high-level one, without editing the registry too (if necessary).

Oh, come on, you can't possibly be insinuating that you don't like The
Ribbon? Oh, you're not insinuating at all... and I agree - after a year
of using it reasonably regularly I *still* hate it, because all the
menus have gone missing behind buttons and the context-sensitive
right-click mouse button, well, isn't. At least not in the context of "I
actually quite liked Office 2003, what the hell have you done with my
menus?"...
