Thanks for that. I'm not sure I see the usefulness in that. If I wanted
to have separate somethings, I'd just create a second user account so I
could have separate documents folders, downloads, etc. Still not
convinced I need this. I may buy a cheap refurb so I can play with
Windows 10 when I get bored, but as far as working my good Windows 7
machine over as an experiment? "Ain't nobody got time for that." LOL.

Brad,
One other feature Windows 10 introduces is virtual desktops. I have not yet
tried it out, but if I understand correctly, you could, for instance, have
separate desktops for work and personal data. I guess this feature is
intended to help users become and stay organized. I don't know, however, if
it is accessible.

Subject: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?
Hi,
I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest, and I
just have a question (with a lot of background first):
So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE. (I'm doing
that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program; you should
use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now in Windows
7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents.
(I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to indicate
that Cortana is iffy at best.
So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like to know
if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating system that
I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can see is that
Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where Windows 7 will
not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that should cause me to
want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't
fix it," apply here? I'd really honestly like to know if JAWS users in
particular are finding anything beneficial in the upgrade, or if it's just
something fun to do to your functioning computer to see if it will still
function.
P.S. Anybody on this list from Louisiana and thinking Cortana, as in mall?
