I guess my opinions are the ones getting in the way in that I believe that
everyone should be using the latest and greatest technologies. As long as
you're not using cloud computing, that is.

Hi David,
On what do you base the below statements? Are these your opinions, or do you
have other information you can point to?
Thanks.

Wow, that's kind of a blanket statement...
It happens that the slow moving assistive technology screen reader market loves
MSAA/IAccessible2 and are not likely to move to native UIA implementations for
some time yet. This is not to mention the slow support for UIA on the
application developer side... A few years down the line maybe, but so far away
that it's not within sight.
