It is a known flaw in that update that is being discussed on the web
today as far as Safari being included in the update. The two major
problems is one you didn't ask for it and two it isn't something a
enterprise user would want to automatically happen. To answer your
question, it isn't accessible and may not be until the Windows screen
readers catch up.

Hi guys:
I still don't have a Mac, mostly because I can't afford it, but
mainly because there still seems to be problems. Because I need
Quicktime to hear some things on the internet, I've been allowing
Apple to download stuff onto my Windows XP Pc. Of course I can't use
Quicktime, but if something needs it, it's there. Just a while ago,
it downloaded Safari. Out of curiosity, I wondered if any of it
was accessible to any of the screenreaders I have to hand-Window-
eyes, NVDA, or System Access to go. Interestingly enough, I can
read the menus and even go to a web page, but it won't read the
page. I'm assuming that sighted ones can use Safari on a Windows
PC? Humm, I wish I could get Apple to donate some Mac Minis with
Leopard to po' folks like me! (smile) My version of Window-eyes
is 4.5 which shows you how far behind I am. Thank goodness for the
free ones that are up-to-date. I've got to hunt down the "dualing"
screenreaders.

P.s. For those of you that like to do these things, there's an
alternative for Microsoft Word called Atlantis Nova. It's the first
word processor I've ever downloaded that makes noise! They are
kind of cute, but you'd probably want to turn them off after a while.
