Accessibility is a huge obsticle for the surface platform, but it's one ofthe things that needs to be addressed by experiences exactly like yours. If you wish, I will be more than happy to be available to speak to folks from atechnical aspect with you, about the specific issues involved.I recommend you do it, but understand you'll be able to utilize almost noneof the functionality.

Fellow Listers, Has anyone worked with a group of sighted people using Microsoft Surface? Here is what I've been told how it works. Surface enables multiple users to simultaneously collaborate without the need for traditional keyboard, mouse, or other input device. Rather thaninterface traditionally, the users literally use their fingers/hands to movedata, create and alter graphics, and otherwise interact and collaborate on what becomes an oversize desktop running on the Microsoft Vista OS.I've been asked to join a group using this technology, but I don't see how Ican participate using a screen reader. Any ideas?
