Hi Donna,
     I use XP myself and will continue to do so for the time being.  I  
had tried Vista for the sake of knowledge and curiosity and I'll  
probably give Windows 7 a shot as far as the desire to know what that  
is like as well.  However, when it comes to using Windows when I have  
a need to, XP will continue to get the job done for me.

     Now, as for the NFB, it is not specific to them or any  
organization.  Unfortunately, VoiceOver bashing has come from all of  
the major blindness groups at one time or another, dating back to the  
AFB when Tiger first came out.  The NFB article you note is only one  
of a few publications that obviously did its best to discredit Apple  
and VoiceOver.  Frankly, it is not a matter of taking a position.   
There are clearly special interests involved, which, I think, do not  
have to be spelled out, since the majority of blind computer users are  
utilizing Windows and the implications can be taken from there.  As  
the saying goes, follow the money trail.

      My experience I referred to mentioned an NFB show, but I have  
encountered the same sort of negative reactions at other trade shows  
having nothing to do with specific blindness organizations.  Whether  
these individuals were members of any, I have no idea. I was just  
pointing out that it is not necessarily the Mac community that  
demonstrates such hostility and shameful behavior.  And you are  
absolutely correct. As the saying goes, two wrongs do not make a right  
and such nastiness should not be acceptable from any quarter,  
especially over something as trivial in life as ones choice of  
computer access. Similarly, however, one should also not take  
immediate offense or the like if someone offers an opinion about a  
given operating system that is supported by experience, documentation  
or general knowledge.  In other words, as I said, I do take my share  
of shots at Windows, but I always keep my remarks in line with reality  
and experience and what is being also talked about in technical  
articles and forums.  As far as I am concerned, there is no company,  
OS or product that is perfect, regardless of whether it is Apple,  
Microsoft or anyone else.
