Come on now, bootup time is only the very beginning of productivity. That would prove nothing.

In fact, to make it even more fair, don't use Jaws at all and Just use Narrator. Either XP's Narrator or Vista.

That means that one operating system has to win over all right? Or is it instead, how fast a bunch of people on Macs can burn a CD, How fast a bunch of Windows users can open a website? If that is so, I personally would rather know how each of the operating systems stack up against each other from a productivity stand point. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Meredith" <tallin32@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 9:32 PMSubject: RE: Seeking possible tasks for Dueling Operating Systems at CSUNWouldn't that only be effective if the system specs were similar? -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Greer Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 6:24 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: Re: Seeking possible tasks for Dueling Operating Systems at CSUNQuickest boot times from first press of the on button to screen reader start. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamal Mazrui" <empower@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 4:37 PM Subject: Seeking possible tasks for Dueling Operating Systems at CSUNI am moderating an event called Dueling Operating Systems at the CSUN conference next week. Three users of an operating system and screen reader combination will compete for a couple hours: Windows with JAWS, the Mac with VoiceOver, and Gnome/Unix with Orca.We agreed to develop a long list of possible tasks that would each takefrom about 3 to 5 minutes using software that comes with the operatingsystem, except for JAWS and Microsoft Office. Either I or others I enlistwould pick a selection of tasks from the list at the actual event.Each task should be described in a general enough way so that someone can choose the application and screen reader techniques that achieve the sameresult.If anyone has suggestions about possible tasks to include on the list, Iwelcome such input.
