Hi All,

A new version of the open-source windows screen reader Non-Visual Desktop
has been released.  It's well worth taking a look at.

http://www.nvaccess.org/nvda

It could do with supporting better voices, but for a free screen reader I
was shocked to find how many applications it worked with out the box.  In my
opinion, it is better than Thunder which is also free.

No video interceptor driver is required, so I suppose it will have it's
limitations, but it does appear to support MSAA.

I have it running from a pen drive no problem, as no installation is
required.
