Actually, windows 8 is in early alpha stages and I know a blind user who's
testing it. Narrator actually is taking on some apple concepts of screen
navigation, so who knows. Maybe ms will continue it.

Don't think they will listen, because the next move Microsoft is going
towards is touch screen and forget the keyboard.
Just like with them sloughing off accessibility.

When I bought my first xp desktop in 2005, I got a middle of the road
graphics card on the advice of the nice local place who were building my
pc, who told me that high end was only necessary to run uba 3D games, but
low end would drag down everything.
Now, as Tom said, the basic spec for windows has gone up a lot, another
reason why I'm sticking to xp for the time being, sinse hopefuly by the
time I need to upgrade, enough people (as I've heard those very up in the
It services markit say), will be narked with the fancy, flashy, system
intensive interface enough to force ms to give some sort of alternative.
In fairness I'm not just talking about visually impared people here, I
have friends who are equally annoyed with it, also ironically, I do know
some people who say they find it too! complex and confusing and want
something simpler as in previous versions of windows.
I've already heard of an open source alternative called classic shell
which converts much of the windows 7 and vista gui to look like, and
resemble the xp model, maybe ms will actually listen, ----
though I admit this is probably a very remote possibility sinse ms and
listen are two different things.
Beware the grue!
