I have a question related to what you wrote, Tom. My complaint isn't with changes in software in the sense of ribbons, that sort of thing. My complaint is that so many mainstream developers refuse to even attempt to make their applications or websites really accessible. I don't understand why

Danielle, It is possible to install Windows 7 on a machine that came with 8 pre-installed. I had this very thing happen to me. I found that because of the changes Microsoft had made to the partition table, it basically locked you out of doing it the normal way, formatting the drive and simply

Hi Jody, Honestly, the answer to both of your questions is simple ignorance on the part of the developer. One thing you may not realize is that when a student enrolls in a college class on programming or goes to a tech school that there isn't any time spent on accessibility. College courses and

Hi Charles, Yes, I do. The New Coke fiasco is infamous, and was probably one of the worst blunders in modern business history. Even so I am not sure that Microsoft is making that kind of mistake. There are certainly users who won't buy Windows 8 because of the changes in user interface, but there

Oh, come on. I'll bet you know what I was referring to, but if not, I'll tell you. Coke had been unchanged for many many years until Coka Cola decided to try a new formula. In short, it flopped. What is now produced is called Coke Classic, and is what it was before the new Coke was
