Hi.
What specific places do you have issues getting to? I generally find
where I want to go on windows 7 just as fast as I did on xp. The thing
is, it took me a lot longer than several hours to learn the best way to
get to things. I wonder if you didn't find certain shortcuts when you
were exploring 7. Things like the ability to connect to a network in the
system tray instead of using the connect to menyu or the network
connections folder, things like that?

Hi Tom.
Given game availability, I'd be willing to pay a good 30 usd for a
dosbox emulator, heck, I'd pay that just for eamon deluxe, though I
agree with the rest of your projects it wouldn't be such a good thing.
The reason I say windows 7 accessibility is worse is due to the
several hours I spent with the system. stuff not stay where it wase
intensive use of ribbons, less compartmentalized interfaces, less
ability to open and close parts of the interface which may or may not
be more useful etc.
Remember, when i use the word "accessible" I don't just mean usable,
but also useable with minimal effort. I could quite believe that a
person could painstakingly learn the interface to windows 7 and the
other programs, however that learning is far harder than xp due to the
fluid nature of the interface, plus, from what I gather most people
for windows 7 pretty much just rely upon the search box, which isn't
really the same if your looking for say what games you have by a
certain developer etc.
To take one simple example, in outlook express to send a mail to a
person, I just open the program tab to contacts, press the letter of a
person's name and find it.
in windows messenger I need to open the program, find the address
book, find the specific tab for names, find the individual person, tab
across to the mail address past lots of other info and options, go
through lots of options that I don't want a conference message etc,
then write in the appropriate fields.
This is what I mean about the interface, rather than having a tidy
interface where you can customize what is shown and how it is shown
(columns, lists etc), in windows 7 it just seems everything is chucked
at you at once, leaving you to wait through hundreds of icons,
buttons, multi thread options, alternate views and god knows what.
This is likely better for a sighted user since they don't have to open
things and can see everything at the start, but for a blind user that
is not the case.
i would however be iterested in trying windows 8 with a touch screen
since there the interface priorities change as I've experienced on an
iphone, and I would not be surprised if the priorities of what makes a
good interface for access change there from what they would be in pure
speech.
Beware the grue!
