Reginald, I am glad I read this before I went ahead and updated from 8 to 9 on I.E.. MIcrosoft should follow Apple's lead, their voice over is free, it is open sourced.. Microsoft's programs have license agreements and cost to update when the free updates run out, no such thing with Apple, they have a built-in and functional screenreader on thiMac.. Of course, Microsoft doesnt want to give up the money it makes off the license agreements and not being open sourced on their software, but Apple's products have free screenreaders that don't have to be updated, no muss, no fuss, I like that much better than being beholden to Microsoft all the time.. Cheers..
