Does Microsoft know which of us uses accessibility, or do we need to tell
them?

Thank you for the thoughtful post.
Microsoft has ramped up their staffing to improve accessibility of the
Office products. They also promise to deliver an accessible version of the
Edge browser later this year. I suspect that is one of the reasons they will
allow vision-impaired Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10 after the July
deadline for most people.

Stan

Hello,
In years past, If I remember correctly, Microsoft was in some kind of
trouble because they were packaging Internet Exploder with Windows 95
and 98. At the time, there was a Company named, Netscape that had their
own Browser and they had filed some sort of complaint against Microsoft.
The result was that Microsoft was said to have an unfair advantage, and
had to start shipping their Windows Operating Systems without I.E. Thus
giving the Users the freedom to choose which Browser they would use.
Here we are 20 years later, and according to some of you, Evil Microsoft
is planning on forcing people to use only Edge?
I know some are working themselves up into feeling discriminated against,
and wanting Heads to Roll, but don't let your fears run away without
some real proof. One article and some here are ready to March on the
White house and demand that Microsoft continue supporting your Favorite
Browsers etc.
I get it. But, the worst has not happened yet, and so lets see what
really comes out of Microsoft before we start ranting about unfair
life is etc.
Oh, by the way, Life is Unfair. Not everyone gets what they desire,
and not everyone deserves what they get.
Lets see what Microsoft actually does before we Yell and Scream about
being forced to use Edge.
Grumpy Dave
