Completely agree, I do not recommend the use of virtual ribbon feature, aero keys in combination with alt / control continue to be my preferred method along with pinning the most used features on quick access tool bar. This method helps me to use MS products across screen readers i.e. Jaws, NVDA and Narrator.
