Agree with you. Still like using Sound Forge 7 and 8 rather than 10 as it's
faster for editing audio. Found a hack on the net that allows me to install
Sound Forge 8 on Windows 7 Proffessional 64 bit. Also use Sound Forge 10 for
resampling and changing file bit depth and resampling audio as the iZotope
software that ships with Sound Forge 10 for changing file bit depth and
resampling is the best in the business :-)

Several of you have mentioned other audio editing software that you
use. I am trying to do my homework before purchasing.. but I have got
to have some really good audio in my radio shows, and must be able to
get my levels and E.Q. balanced spot on. Also, I am using Sound Forge
10, and it truly doesn’t work well with Jaws like the older versions of
Sound Forge did.
I also just got a keyboard for my Birthday and would love to be able to
hook that into my computer to create musical arrangements. Suggestions
are welcomed.
Thanks.

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.

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!
