I aggree, windows is being standards complient just like ie9 and alter are.
That in itself means that we shouldn't have to have inaccessable
programs again.
I am not happy with the start metro system, but it looks like the way
my finances are going that a desktop with maybe 7 or xp and a tablet
will end up being what I get to replace my old phone and laptop combo anyway.

Hi Tom,
I do agree about the start screen and partially agree about
metro/modern UI as it's now called because microsoft had to change
its name, however I do like some of the new windows 8 features.
Narrator works very well with Metro apps since it's implying a Mac
OS style of navigation, and nvda isn't quite there yet. On a tablet
Narrator offers full touchscreen access which is very similar to iOS.
As far as the windows store, apps have an accessibility rating that
gets displayed if you have a screen reader running. Developers can
mark that their apps have been tested again screen readers and it
will be indicated.
As far as games, the xBox live app is just awesome. You can do
things you'd expect with your account like order games to your xBox,
or even control it, view your achievments and so on, and you get the
same kind of access to Windows games as well, which is really cool.
Lastly, if you're one of those people who doesn't like the start
screen, you can get classic shell which can restore your usual start
menu, and it works great with Screen Readers. Not to mention the
other smaller things like UIA being a lot quicker and moer stable
and the new voices, if you get passed the annoying start screen
Windows 8 is great.
