The following are my opinions, and not those of NLS.
I am a Window-Eyes user, but like to know what else is going on. I attended a
Freedom Scientific demo at CSUN where Glen Gordon was putting Visual Studio
2010 through its paces. The demonstration was quite impressive. Look in the
archives of this list, on March 18, for a message from Jamal about this CSUN
demonstration. I think he understood the situation in about the same way I do.
Both W-E and JAWS now support UIA. JAWS has supported UIA for a longer time.
There are holes in what information is supplied through UIA by various
programs, including Visual Studio. In addition, conventional off-screen model
techniques don't work in many of the windows that require the use of UIA.
There may be a new build of JAWS in the next few weeks with additional Visual
Studio 2010 support, particularly for the full, commercial version of VS.
I don't think that at this moment any screen reader has the whole Visual Studio
2010 environment working well, but I suspect that more people are working on
the FS side of this equation than on the GW side. It should be encouraging to
all of us that developer access is getting some attention from both screen
reader vendors.

Hi Ken and all.
Oh ok. Well GW Micro's latest version of Window-Eyes, 7.5, supports the UI
Automation. Visual Studio 2010 heavily uses UI Automation, therefore
Window-Eyes will take advantage of this.
So what I am saying here is that we are on JAWS 12 and still UI Automation
doesn't appear to be fully implemented.
Take care.
