Hi Peter

The access issues with vista put me off going down that route and I was
hoping that Windows 7 would have addressed those.  So, we have a promising
system in Windows 7 then?

Cheers

Barry

Chris I wouldn't consider that a review at all. It's not particularly
informative or in no way answers the original question.

There are quite a few things which are better about Windows 7 and
accessibility is one of them. Many parts of Windows 7 work better and are
much more accessible than their Vista counter parts.
