Hi Tom, Thanks, good to know. So then, what would happen for a screen reader user who was attempting to use a program under XP if a developer had gone with UI Automation as their accessibility API? Do the screen readers have some way of bridging the gap between UI Automation and MSAA, or would that program just be seen as being inaccessible? Doesn't affect me directly seeing as I'm already running 7, but thought it was worth asking. I haven't yet heard of any programs that are accessible in 7 and 8 but totally unusable in XP, so just trying to get my head around the implications.
