I can understand why Microsoft would exempt us from the deadline since they are still working on accessibility issues. Their browser, Edge, is not yet accessible, but I am using Windows 10 and am very pleased with it. If I have a problem with a web page in IE11, I switch to Chrome. I can't speak for other screen-readers, since I don't use them, but I think Window Eyes is doing a great job. But as always, the more we know about the software we're using, the better and easier it will be to get the most out of programs. Bookshare has books on Windows 10, for example, and Google is a great resource. There are many tweaks and changes to settings that we can make to make Windows 10 more user-friendly, though the definition of user-friendly will vary from person to person. In the article in the link below, http://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2016/02/18/making-microsoft-product s-accessible-path-forward/#sm.000oe9i3h94jdtv11ry1gfbp5zhm4 She mentioned the Microsoft Accessibility Desk as a source of user feedback. Perhaps we should call the Accessibility Desk more often. Smile.
