Yes, but that is no excuse. When MS releases a new version of Windows, or Apple releases a new version of OS X (coming this month), the software manufacturers allocate resources to update their products to take advantage of the new operating system. That's part of staying in business. Some are very good at keeping up. Some do a very poor job and lag horribly behind (I'm looking at you Adobe (Photoshop) and Quark).
It's not the job of MS and Apple to hold back in order to allow companies like Adobe, Quark, and others to stay status quo. Instead, the OS companies push forward and software companies have to follow and keep up. This same principle applies to screen reader companies. The web is the OS. The screen readers are just like Adobe, Quark, and others. They need to pick up the pace and stay current. On Oct 7, 2007, at 1:13 AM, Joseph Selbie wrote: > In a ideal world yes.
