God I hate Vista. If I had the finances I'd put Windows 7 on my laptop just
to get away from this User Account Control crap or at least, this version of
it.

Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash.

Hi,
As far as I am concerned the best text to speech voices out there are
those that come with Mac OS Snow Leopard. Some of those voices are as
human sounding as a voice can come, and still be text to speech. Even
better you can crank them up very fast, and they are as fast and smooth as
using Eloquence. Windows screen readers still doesn't have anything that
comes close to the voices available for Mac users. Give Apple a couple of
years and I think we might see a lot more blind users switching to Mac
instead of Windows for exactly accessibility features like that.
Although, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm very impressed with Windows
7. I've already started the order process to upgrade all of my computers
to Windows 7 in the next couple of months or so. I definitely will be
updating all of my Vista systems first as I think Windows Vista was a
total flop. It is too slow, extremely bloated, and its version of user
account control sucks just to name a few of my major gripes. Then, I do
have one older XP system here, mainly for games, which might get updated
to Windows 7 as Windows XP is really beginning to show its age.
