Damon, maybe the link below will be useful. It summarises the American NFB convention computer science meeting and points to some possibly useful external links. http://www-03.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/schwer?tag=odf This is probably the meeting for which the Main Menu Archive is yet to be put up. From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Damon Sent: 08 August 2006 6:52AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Windows Vista accessibility 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? http://www.microsoft.co.ke/presspass/features/2006/jun06/06-05VistaAccessi bility.mspx Thanks damon.rose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx London, England. __________ NOD32 1.1696 (20060807) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
