Hi;
It's worth pointing out that this is only beta software, and as such, it
isn't the finished product. In this instance, as ithe software was a
buy-out from the Microsoft and Giant deal, I suspect that the original
developers, Giant Software, weren't aware of accessibility when they coded
the software.
I've passed on details of a couple of specific bugs to a couple of contacts
I have in the Access Technology Group at Redmond. The problems are custom
controls that don't implement MSAA, which accounts for JAWS not reading
button labels within the dialog, and an incomplete AccelTable, accounting
for the lack of keyboard accellerater keys.
Hopefully, as it's a beta, these bugs can be fixed prior to the product
being released. If you want to report any bugs direct to the security
product group, who are responsible for this, then you can use the NMTP
newsgroup, details of which can be found at:
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?ICP=spyware&sLCID=us
For general information on the product, or to download it, go to:
