Hi James,
I just thought the timing was ironic. I'm not in a position to give a
technical opinion.

Thanks for the article. Very interesting. I just have one question.
Microsoft seem to be saying that their new U.I Automation will allow
Screen Readers and the like interact with controls that are not yet
available, which is certainly an interesting prospect for those
using Windows. But surely as Blind/Visually Impaired users, we
should be able to integrate as fully as possible with our sighted
colleagues and friends? From what the article said, the U>I>A does
not represent the screen as I am told VO does; and whilst this may
be a good thing I don't know, it sounds like it is a step backwards
in terms of assimilation into the wider world for us Blind users.
Or am i talking rubbish?
Any thoughts?
Take care
James

Folks,
I just noticed this article and found the timing ironic. Microsoft
seems to want accessibility on it's own terms.
