I didn't say that it worked with all screen readers. I only say it worked for me. no need to get so defensive.
I'm a jaws user, so...

Again, I can understand where all of you are a bit concerned. Let me start by saying I fully understand. Not everyone is as advanced of a computer user as others. The other thing too, is I tend to like getting my feet really wet at times if you know what I mean. No, Ray, I dont' literally mean my feet. LOL! Sorry, dude, couldn't resist. Heheheheh. An'n'n'ny, wayyyy, I dono, Ray. It's hard to explain. I don't really know I could actually convince you. I think it's just firstly, the knowing that it's gonna become better over time. The other thing is, I like how they have consolidated the conversations into the same window as the contact list. The reason being, now, I don't have to worry about alt tabbing around to find one window. Ya know? They're all just kind a right there and can be switched between with very few commands. The other thing too, I guess that I like is the sound quality is a major! plus! I called my friend Maheen the other day on Skype beta, granted, he was still on 3.8, but in any rate, I was on the 4 beta. I could not believe! the sound quality. It was clear? as? Ay, bell! Not that it wasn't before, but I mean this was breath taking! He only has a little mike built on the mother board of his Dell Laditude, however, I swear to God! It not quite, but all? frickin? most! sounded like he was on a headset! It blew me away! Granted yeah, I got really high end studio house P A head jvl house monitors, which I use on this system, plus am running a really high end Boes sub woofer, but still, O? mauigh! Gawod! I even plugged a set a walk man head phones into my mixer, and even those cheap k, r, A, p, things, sounded shockingly good. So that is another thing I really love. I also like the fact that if you're in a video call with someone who has a web cam, not that this would matter to a lotta you, but I have very very severely low vision, so for me I love it when folks have web cams. Anyway, it's in? cr'r'r'r'r'redibly! easy to now switch from view video in window over to view in full screen. I also have found that remember how, in a Skype call, if you were in the main window, and accidentally hit escape, what would happen? Yeah! You? gottit! Ck'l'l'lick? Yo0ur call would drop. Well, they have removed that. Now you have! to go to the live window list, and application key on the person, and hit end call. The other thing is, if you're now in a conference, you can mute your mike only to certain people. In other words, let's say for sake of example, you, I, and your mother are conferenced. You need to tell your mom something. You don't mind me hearing her answer, however, you dont' want me hearing waht you ask her. You Then could mute your mike where you're not muted for her, but you are for me. So in other words, I can't hear you, yet, she and others in the conference could. The only real drawbacks are that answerring, and hanging up are slgihtly tough in that the hot keys don't work, however if you never use those anyway, then you're fine. Plus tabbing between controls sometimes crashes skype when a screen reader's running. Finally the fact the jaws cursor must be used to accept file transfers. Aside that though, it's quite good, and those issues are both by Skype, and by Dug being addressed. He already has said so, so, I'm not concerned. Take care.

Here's your big chance to convince us. I'd really love to know why you like it so much when everybody else seems to hate it so badly. Usually, I'm one to try beta stuff too; so, if you think you can convince me, give it your best. I'm open to what ever you might have to suggest or say about this. I'm not being facetious; on the contrary, I'm genuinely interested very much in what you have to say. All I've seen for the past two or three days is complaint after complaint. Yours seem to bee the first words I've seen in real support of this beta of Skype. Thanks.

I normally love trying out new beta software, but my gut told me not to, and from all I've heard, I'm glad I didn't move up.
