Subject: Re: [Audyssey] De Steno releases windows game.
well I have the latest nvda.
Ie9 is faster and has standards complience.
Nvda can not read progress bars though which is a pain, i don't think there
is any way to stop win7 updating to ie9 or at least I have not found a way
to hide it.
However, it does have some features which though annoying I do like.
Everything including info bars etc is on the toolbar, its download manager
is a bit strange, but you can view your downloads in a new window and thats
ok, The new ribbon is quite a thing to get used to, but the normal text menu
just like the dos command line before it is passed its used by date.
So eventually we will have to start using it.
Eventually you should be able to see what shortcut does what, etc.
I fortunately still have winxp, though if I switch to 7 it will be
ie9 unless ofcause I can somehow stop it doing that.
win8 will be fully ribbonised though.
