No. We are a web accessibility advocacy and consulting group. Our
mission is to make the online lives of people with disabilities
better. We invite you to check out our resources and tools at
webaim.org. We collect screen reader survey data to better inform the
web accessibility development community on user preferences,
technologies, etc. We invite you to complete the survey. Your
responses are very valuable to us and the development community.

I don't think I have been "trashing" Window-Eyes. As I have done
several times in the past, I'm simply trying to document the issue and
inform users that if they encounter issues with standards-compliant
checkbox and radio button groups, that the issue is likely with
Window-Eyes and that they will need to enter Browse mode to find the
relevant descriptions.

It seems updates to Browse mode may be coming in the future, so
hopefully it will be addressed with these updates.
