Much of that is really easy to get though, movie maker and
pinball in particular. The windows 7 volume control is (in my
opinion) far superior to win xp, as it lets you change the volume
of all your gprograms indevidually.

an updatedLone Wolf
Hi Thomas,
Yes, windows programs get new features and yes, it is up to you
to decide if
you want to use them or not...
But let me ask you something just as an example.
Do you know what the difference between Windows Movie Maker and
Windows Live
Movie Maker is?
As far as I am informed the Windows Movie Maker of XP or Vista
isn't
included in Windows 7 anymore and the Windows Live product of the
same name
is not the same product with more features and just a new design.
A blind person might not be interested in video editing, but a
sighted
person could be.
Or another example is E-Mail programs.
Windows XP had Outlook Express, Vista had Windows Mail and
Windows 7 has the
Windows Mail folder included, but the program cannot be run
except you can
replace the entire Windows Mail folder in your program files
directory with
the folder from a Vista installation...
Or you use Windows Live products again...
But the question remains what about things dropped out of an
operating
system?
You are right in saying that Windows Explorer of Windows 7 has
more features
than the one of Windows 98 - no doubt there.
But what about dropped features?
While the system restore feature of Windows XP is good, it is not
needed
when you just want to repair your registry a bit for which
Windows 98 had
scanreg.
Now you are required to buy third party tools like Tune Up
Utilities or
other PC cleaning and tuning programs to get similar features.
Or what about the Windows XP style volume control program or the
XP style
Audio Recorder?
What do I do with Windows 7 and altered or missing programs (not
limited to
programs best accessible for blind people)?
Or does Windows 7 still include the Pinball game from Windows ME
or later
from XP?
You get what I mean.
