sound, we need drivers with everything, though now ms have generic
drivers you think they would have loaded those for the installs now.

Hi Thomas,
I personally are also not against new technologies or new features
in future Windows operating systems or other programs.
But I'd like to adress a few points as well.
If a company wants to improove their software, then this is often
good for all users and not because security might be better.
But what I often don't get is why people think it is time to force
design changes.
I know of the ribbon interface of MS Office products and such.
I don't have used them (Office 2007 or 2010) thus I won't comment on
which screen reader can best handle it.
I also know that every major upgrade brings new features as well.
But what I don't get is why MS did come up with the new interface
and removed the old interface instead of having them both in the
product for every person sighted or not to choose the design of their product.
I mean, why do programs like Winamp or Windows Media Player allow
skins or skin packs?
The players ship with a standard interface, but are open for user
created content.
Besides I had a sighted teacher who personally told me that he had
several sighted friends and colleagues who were users of MS Office
pre 2007 and when the new products came out they also had problems
adapting and getting to figure out the new interface and they could
see and use the mouse properly compared to us blind people.
And about screen readers like Voice Over or Narrator.
It would be good if thoose could be improoved.
But what I still don't get is why any assistive technology included
in an operating system (windows mostly) cannot be used to aid during
first installation (when you format your hard drive or when you use
a blank one).
For years there was nothing short of a sighted person to help even
if it became a bit easier with unattended installations of XP and a
few older Windows versions.
