The challenge is the replacement for MSAA. Doug has explained on the Main Menu interview of a couple of weeks ago that it provides a means by which access technology can identify a range of new elements. Microsoft is incorporating the new user interface automation into more of its new applications, and I think we are dealing with a clash of the old and the new.
GW has to keep current, because it has no control over what people purchase, but the general rule will always be that people eventually replace their computer systems - hardware and software. Priority must go to supporting Windows Seven over XP, in the same way many cycles ago priority went into support XP over Windows 98 and ME. Personally: my impressions of IE 9 are favourable, but there are problematic web sites. They actually seem to be the same ones that were problematic under IE8 and Firefox.

Is IE 7 and 8, and Firefox 3.x obsolete now? Maybe the banking sites are not up to snuff on the new browers yet. A well worn but valid phrase comes to mind... If it aint broke, dont fix it.
