At the risk of being controversial, I'd reserve judgement on that until we
see how well the release version of JAWS 11 behaves with UIA and WPF. It is
not safe to say that if it works with a simple test WPF form that this means
it'll work fine with Visual Studio. Visual Studio makes use of some pretty
sophisticated designers and tools which I suspect will require some fairly
extensive scripting by someone to get them to work sufficiently well. As it
is there are whole areas of the existing versions of Visual Studio which are
barely supported by JAWS, so I won't expect things to change that radically
for 2010. E.g. check out how well it works in the web form, WPF form, class
diagram, workflow and ADO.NET entity designers. It's not just a matter of
whether JAWS recognises the focussed item, but whether the user interface
fully tracks it and supports the kind of feedback JAWS can handle
unassisted.
I haven't been able to test out JAWS 11 at all myself, because (a) I haven't
had the time, and (b) I still only have JAWS 9 which doesn't entitle me to
use the beta version unlimited. So I'm aware this will come across as
sniping from the sidelines. Once a release version of JAWS 11 is out, I'll
be giving it a test drive as I will have to gain 64-bit functionality sooner
or later. Apart from the claimed UIA and WPF support, there hasn't been
much else introduced that especially interests me yet, let alone will
improve things at work where we're nowhere near moving to Windows 7, UIA,
WPF or anything else much come to that. :-)
All the best,
David

If not mistaken, vs 2010 has been written using WPF so jaws 11 should be
able to handle it.
It will require folks to adjust some scripting though.

Has anyone been working on jaws/window eyes scripts for this release? Sounds
good.
