If you use Window-Eyes, Vista is quite accessible including Office 2007. I haven't gone to Vista, but I am a beta tester for GW Micro and am on their lists. In fact, for the first release of a new operating system from Microsoft, Vista is turning out to be more accessible from the start than XP, or any previous Microsoft operating system. Again, if one is using Window-Eyes. Freedom Box also has a version for Vista.

There are a few Assistive Technology Specialists on that List, as well as some consumers with cnsiderable expertise. >From what I have been reading, VISTA, right now, is not completely accessible to those of us using Assitive Technology.. As a rule, when Microsoft puts a new Version of Windows on the Market, accessiblity is an issue. Frankly, it might be wise to wait abit before installing Vista and upgrading from XP). However, I also understood, that you can have 2 Versions of Windows on your laptop or PC, contingent upon the amount of Gigabytes. If that is the case, Jose could reinstall XP and hold the fort until any accessiblity issues in Vista are resolved.
