Oh yes, I don't even consider Vista for the moment, just as I was still using Windows 2000 a long time after XP appeared. Each time a new OS appears, the accessibility and improvements for the blind is left behind, and it takes some time until the companies that make screen readers adapt their software to work well with it, with the new drivers and apps. So that's why I don't think it is a good idea to jump and use the latest systems. They are ok only for those who have enough time to try and like to test what's new, but not for those who use the computers just to do their job.

Well, linux is different usually, since its open source accessibility isn't a problem in new versions...
Usually better actually.
