First letter navigation does work in the virtual ribbon. I don't mean the Office shortcuts; I mean true first letter navigation. If there is more than one item starting with the same letter, you will have to press enter on the one you want. The only thing I like about virtual ribbons is the fact that it is very easy to see the groups because they show in submenus. I teach students, and I always show them both ways to navigate the ribbons and lay out the pros and cons of both very clearly so that they can make their own informed decision. I'm all about choice when it comes to computers.

You just lose some of the JAWS instructions while navigating.
