Thanks for this run-down Candace and you're right Usability and Accessibilty are very much neglected  and it is a REALLY big mistake that could eventually have legal implications.

Where can I find the Flash Usability study btw?

Well, just got back form the Nielsen/Norman Group conference in Chicago
and I have to say that is was a real eye-opener!
I had one session where Don Norman himself critiques a flash RIA I'm
working on. And HE DIDNT BASH IT!

Actually, I found quite a few flash proponents and a lot of people who
were just scarred by the whole intro thing. A lot of people didn't
realize that flash could be used as a GUI tool!!!

Can you imagine!?!?

Anyway, I was surprised that so many companies have folks dedicated to
performing usability considerations and testing. I was particularly
interested in finding out that so many people don't give a hoot about
usability!

I would suggest any of you RIA developers check out Hoa Loranger's
Flash Usability study. It's well worth the price, and she was really
shocked to hear that the belief exists in the development community that
Usability experts hate developers/designers.

Any thoughts/ experiences you're willing to share about usability in
your company/projects??
