Well based on small amount that I played with it so far, it seemed pretty accessible. It seems like they have taken best bits of win 7 and 8 and put it all together.



There are rumours that Microsoft is hoping for narrator to be a fully-fledged screen reader in this version of windows. Though it is vastly improved even from that of windows 8, I'm not sure that I'd still use it as my primary screen reader, but it can certainly do quite a lot. But, as I said, I only had limited opportunities to play with it so I haven't explored it as much as I would like, or at least not yet, but we will see how it goes.





I guess also how do you define accessible, some consider win 8 inaccessible. There are many things I don't like about windows 8, but they certainly can be used with screen readers therefore I wouldn't consider them inaccessible.
