I feel about ribbons the way you feel about XP.
The thing about ribbons is that they're even a nuisance for the sighted never mind the blind. Why is it necessary to add layer up on layer of key strokes or clicks when efficiency is measured by less not more.

Hurray! At least I'm not the only one who is happy with XP and has no plans to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 as long as my computer still works and does everything I need it to do. Millions of people will continue to use XP well after support for it ends in April, despite the overblown media hype about hacker attacks, and I intend to be one of them. I'm the kind of guy who gets aggravated and frustrated easily, and buying a new computer with Windows 7 or 8 sounds like a recipe for aggravation.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching From XP To Windows7


Below are my opinions.

Don't switch to Windows 7. It's just a big hastle. I've had a Windows 7 machine for two months, and I still don't use it regularly. Keep getting automatic updates if you must, but I believe that the XP security risks are hiped by Microsoft to try to push people toward more modern, bloated operating systems. From my experience, you will see all sorts of error messages when trying to instal your favorite programs to Windows 7. Some programs you use every day will no longer work, some not even in compatibility mode. It seems to me that Windows 7 was not made for a power user but radically simplified and coolized to simplify the computer at the expense of efficiency. For all around grunt work (sound management, music ripping, document editing, PDF viewing), I'll put XP against Windows 7 any day.
