RE: Need Help to Provide Feedback to a Developer

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.

Jim

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.
