Yeah, I agree with you on that. It would be nice to somehow activate a
temporary audio driver to read the bios or something, because often
times I don't have sighted assistance.

I'm sorry to bust your buttons,, but I don't think that there is any
such thing as "one hundred percent accessible" simply due to the way
accessibility is portrayed in frameworks; it's optional and not
required, and making it required would break the consistency of the
sighted developing world causing hundreds of hours of unexplained
agrevation for people who don't understand why their code won't
compile when it looks right to their eyes. As a training
administrator of Windows systems and beyond, I'd like to see more
accessibility efforts put into the pre-boot environments that
computers can enter such as the Intel Out-of-band management
interfaces, the SBUU and recovery interface from Dell, the UEFI
interface used as the booting process for newer computers and those
converted from the legacy BIOS interface, as well as the environments
provided by WinPE and those from other venders. I see no reason why
just because we are visually impaired we should have to require so
much sighted assistance when installing and troubleshooting windows
systems under preOS environments.

Amen!! I agree with this.
There is no company like the Loving folks at GW Micro!
I don't care what anyone says. I love them and they know it.
I love Window-Eyes and they also know it.
Also, I don't care who puts me down for what I say either.
I'm loving Window-Eyes 8.02.
Keep up the excellent work GW Micro Staff! I'm excited and can't wait
to hear what the new product is.
I want to guess, but I'm probably wrong, anyway. <smile>
No matter what it is, I know we'll love it.
Maybe it's an application that will work on all Windows smart phones
and make them 100 percent accessible? I sure hope that is what it is.
No matter what it is, I'll appreciate it.
Thanks much.
Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

GWMicro is doing what they can to fix bugs that user's like myself
have reported. I haven't updated fire fox to the latest version
because it works for me. And as for the smoke and mirrors comment?
Really? We have to act like five year olds on this list? I thought
we were past the immature stages of that past time. I guess not
for some user's on this list. Why don't you wait for the
announcement on the list to find out what this is. You really
should be thankful. GWMicro works hard on what they do in my
opinion. If you don't like the current version of Window eyes,
downgrade! It's that simple. No pain no gain. We really have to
have GWMicro's staff personally attacked because you feel that
they are not doing there job correctly? Maybe you should trade
places for a week and do what they do and then sit back after your
done and see how you feel being put under scrutiny when they start
complaining and wining to you. You wouldn't like it much would you?
Ok.
Rant over.
And if the staff at GWMicro see it fit to have me removed from
this list, fine. But, I would rather stand up and defend a company
for it's hard work.

I'd settle for greatly-improved stability within WE and IE and
FireFox, and set files that load and stay loaded when they're
supposed to. I couldn't care less about Skipe and GW Connect as I
don't use those programs and have only met one or two other blind
people that do. I'd like to see GW focus on the programs used
most often by the greatest number of people. But, who am I,
anyway? And as for suspense and watching TV, I don't really watch
much TV, so the marketing attempts don't work there on me
either. Jon

solution, what will it be?
In the very near future, GW Micro will be announcing the
release of a new accessibility solution that will once again
break down barriers for people who are blind or visually
impaired. It's something that many people in the blind and
low vision community have been requesting for quite some
time. What do you think it could be? Don't worry, you won't
have to wait much longer to find out, so stay tuned for more
details!
