I tend to agree with Graham specifically on the access front. My humble
opinion here is that it is not likely to be the big issue that everyone fears.
There will be an issue of retraining though and Office 2007 is a bit of a worry
at the moment too. This is where I think George's fear lies which I
understand. Somewhat to that end I am trying to document the gotchas and find
relatively few, but I do find things that will irritate people currently using
Windows now.
Ironically (and for the first time) from what I have been able to observe at
first hand with this Windows changeover it is not so much the accessibility but
all the other rather more mainstream issues that will be the problem. I did
recognise one or two of the issues George mentioned as ones I have come accross.

most of the screenreaders seem to be getting something together that will
work in Vista. if it's anything like XP there will be a minimum period of
about 6 months while the public at large do microsoft's job and sort out any
bugs and the like. so if Microsoft deliver a release of Vista at all before
the end of this year, I would say that it will be next year at about this
time when significant numbers of people start to upgrade to Vista.
Cheers
Graham

Hi Dave,

again?
I'd say about 3-6 months - When Vista is launched. (Smile)
