Oh yeah, I maybe wrong, but from what I tried, the store isn't accessible either with JAWS at least. I don't know about NVDA The same can be said for the music one I know that worked with NVDA. Or was it Narrator? Perhaps it was Narrator.

I don't like that I could never get the Weather or news app to read with either JAWS or NVDA. I did not like that I could not use the built in chat feature. I was also disappointed that the built in mail program wasn't accessible for me. I'm happy in Windows 7 again till things are more accessible with 8.
