I just subscribed! I'm going to certainly be keeping up with this one. I cannot wait to own Windows 8, but I think that slow-on-the-uptake screen reader manufacturers could potentially be a hindrance for all of us in this community. I mean, JAWS 12's reign could end quite abruptly if they refuse to adapt the later versions to not use Mirror drivers anymore if Microsoft takes them away. And then if that is the case and screen readers do not keep up with latest and greatest technology (and even nowadays, this is a problem right now in my opinion), where will we go? Will we be stuck with our current configurations for the rest of our lives? -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rasmussen, Lloyd Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2011 12:05 PM To: NFB in Computer Science Mailing List; program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Windows 8 Blog I find the blog concerning the development and planned features of Windows 8 to be interesting reading. Of course, it's Microsoft propaganda. New entries are posted every couple of days. Screen reader users and developers will have a lot to get used to (including a ribbon interface for Windows Explorer).
