Hi Dark, Developers aren't saying woohoo, let's force everyone to upgrade because the new stuff is just sooo much cooler. :)
We spend a fair bit of time trying to figure out ways to make as many customers happy as possible, while ourselves, working in a changing environment. I think here, is where the issue lies. Developers do not have the ultimate say as to what happens in the industry. We are customers as well. The difference is that we are customers of different types of software. This is the software and tools which allow us to write code for our own customers. Does this make sense? there's not an animosity here, there is a real desire to make good and usable software but progress in the general computing fields changes how this is done and often how easily this is done. The only frustration you as visually impaired customers are hearing is that which you are sending out. Myself and others here would never dream of deliberately taking something you all enjoy away from you. Quite the opposite. :) It's just that we also need to work effectively in a changing software and hardware environment, which makes certain paths of development easier or more time-consuming, depending on what the customer wants or needs. Does this make sense?… Thanks so much for reading!

Windows 8 I don't have an opinion on yet since on the one hand I don't like lack of customization in the Ui, on the other I do appreciate that microsoft are finally! doing something decent about access at the basic level, though how well this works in practice when we get down to the nuts and bolts I can't say having not ried a windows 8 system yet. beware the Grue!
