Mike, Microsoft is going in a whole new direction, playing catch up and trying
to get out of previous messes it made for itself; so it’s focus is currently on
its new vision for their ecosystem, a lesson they seem to have learned from
Apple?
Anyways, it’s not just that, the PC market is suffering everywhere, the entire
industry is desperate and trying so many different things, that it’s all very
uncertain at the moment.
This tention is causing many to look out for their own and sort of hold at a
standstill
Regards, D!J!X!

I hate to say this, but I don't think Microsoft gives a rip about the music end
of it. As long as you can do things like word processing and related
applications, everything else is way down the list of priorities. Even their
latest and greatest Web browser has to have some additional coding done to it
before it'll be accessible to a screen reader; hence you have to make Internet
Explorer the default browser when you install Windows 10 - or use your favorite
accessible browser, provided it'll run under Windows 10.
Like I've said in many posts here and elsewhere, I'm not against progress as
long as it's within reason. When you have a slue of changes that come down all
at once, it's a rat race at best trying to catch up to it. I don't envy
specialized third-party developers who are faced with coming up with reasonable
stuff that works.
I should also point out that it's not only Microsoft driving this whole thing.
The gaming industry is a huge factor in pushing the envelope to the point where
the OS will eventually have to be completely redesigned. That's the nature of
the beast, but how do you balance that with the need to provide a reasonable
mechanism for specialized software and hardware developers to keep up? I've got
a few ideas, but it's going to sway this thread way off topic; and it's going
to get political, which isn't appropriate for this list.
Mike

What do you guys think the people at Microsoft would do if someone from the
community of blind musicians could make them aware of our problem? Has this
been done already?
May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind
in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
