This is the first, clear, not to mention short and concise, answer I have seen to "why ribbon menus". Thanks.
With this turned off, will the menus look like the kind of menu set-ups that we used to see - oh so many years ago? You know - headings and a simple list of menu items under each heading, instead of "strings"? I am certain that I could get used to that again!

The Virtual Ribbon is supposed to make the ribbon menus more accessible to blind users of JAWS. The disadvantage, though, is that they block the use of some of the Microsoft shortcut letter combinations. When the Virtual Ribbon is turned off, these shortcut letter combinations become available again.
