Same here, particularly the new and improved Narrator and some other
features like Reset and Refresh. It is sure frustrating to completely
reinstall Windows 7, whereas resetting or refreshing will almost bypass
complete reinstalls of Windows 8.

the part about avoiding the start menu, maybe he's just a very mouse-driven guy. I know
people like that, and they drive me crazy because it sort of feels like the blindies are
being singled out because we use the keyboard. Like the keyboard is meant as something
for those who are unable to use the mouse rather than being a complement to it. And
believe me, if you think that article's full of unnecessary complaints, search on some of
those by Paul Thurrott. He basically complains about the name apps and how it to him
means simple and worthless and that applications and apps are two very different things.
Referring to apps on the metro interface as "running in a Fisher Price
environment."

In reading this I have to think about what it really comes down to that this
guy is complaining about. Ok, taking issue with
http://listen.mushroomfm.com:8760/I guess we will say. Yes for us it sounds
like all of that scrolling necessary in the metro interface may be a challenge
unless the screen reader has a way to adjust what things do in response to the
keyboard. My guess is that will be an obvious concern to be addressed. It
sounds annoying, at least the way he describes it that there may be some lack
of a unified system between the two interface options. Depending on what is
needed and what it is necessary to use one or the other interface for, this may
or may not be a real issue. His statement about avoiding the windows key at all
cost has me scratching my head. Is he trying to avoid the start menu? If so,
why I would have to ask! Others may not agree, but I come away from this
article asking myself what this guy is really taking issue with that will be a
common concern or i
s he just complaining because he can't learn how to communicate with a new
interface? I am not defending windows 8. I know very little about it and have
never touched it myself in any way.
