No, I don't think so. Every function given by this ribbon is available in Finder without buttons.

I can give you the steps, if you'd like.



If you have to give me steps, then I think you've missed the point of the Ribbon!

The Finder has a lot of places you can perform operations on a file: the menu bar, the toolbar, the Get Info inspector, and the context menu. All the Ribbon does is turn them into buttons and put them in the same place. There's no remembering how to do stuff - and yes, some people can't remember how to do basic file management - because it's all done from the same row at the top. I could say the same thing about "Every function in the Finder I can do without having to use menus".


If you have to explain steps to me then it isn't working like MS are discussing here. The whole point is that no-one needs to give you steps.
