It's not a dumb question at all. Here's a very important thing to note. While the accessibility improvements were clearly featured in the beta release of 8.0.4 HD, LE and M-Powered. Until someone actually confirms it with the commercial release, there's no way to guarantee it. By all means, we're all quite confident that the improvements were implemented but I have yet to hear from anyone that they've downloaded and installed the commercial version. I'm still on the beta and have not yet gotten around to doing the upgrade. Has anyone else?
This may sound like an extremely improbable thing but, it's possible that things might've changed before the release. That's why most companies ask testers not to talk about beta versions. In case something happens and a feature must be shelved until a future release, they don't want people to have expectations. Again, not to alarm anyone but, frankly, I haven't heard of anyone installing the commercial version yet. Anyone? I personally won't have a chance to upgrade my HD system until a week from now, at best.
