HI all,

I'm delaying buying a new computer until Windows Vista is out and I've got JAWS 
8 - which I believe is the only version of jaws that will support the new 
operating system.

Was just doing a bit of random surfing to look up how accessible Vista is going 
to be and it looks quite promising? I'd be interested to hear some computer pro 
points of view on this. 

'UI Automation' was mentioned as a particular access initiative. Can someone 
explain this a little more: is it a really useful new feature for apps creation 
and how will it work in practice towards more accessible application use?
