Same here. This is the last count for me then I'll have to decide on my future with it. Got loads of options, not enough time to choose!

Subject: Who Needs JAWS 12 Anyway?



One of the new features mentioned in the JAWS 12 preview I posted yesterday is a 
"virtual ribbon" option that will emulate the classic menus in Office 2003 
while retaining the ribbon menu structure everyone loves to hate.  For those of you who 
do not plan to upgrade to JAWS 12, I just discovered a great little app called Ubit Menu 
that adds the classic Office 2003 menus to the Office 2007/10 ribbon menu.  Once you 
download and install this app, you bring up the ribbon menu by pressing Alt, right arrow 
to the Menu tab and hit Enter.  Then you can tab and shift tab through the various 
classic 2003 menu options for Word, Excel and Power Point.  It works well with JAWS 9, 
and does not disrupt the existing ribbon menu structure in any way.  So you can have your 
cake and eat it too; classic Office 2003 menus, or the newer and more frustrating Office 
2007/10 ribbon menus.  So who needs JAWS 12 anyway? Besides, Ubit Menu is availabel now, 
so you don't have to wait for JAWS 12 to b
e released.
