I agree. It's more than about time that this be done.
From: Micallef Michael at MITA [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 1:57 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Proposal to GW-Micro about upcoming Windows 8 OS Dear GW-Micro Staff, and Subscribers on this list, People are talking again about the new upcoming Microsoft's Windows operating system. I am more than sure that the new OS will be better than the present Windows 7, but I would like to take this opportunity and publicly suggest GW-Micro and Microsoft to work together to incorporate the following suggestion. Since the DOS era, we the totally blind users until today's date do not have reasonable access means to totally format a pc and install an operating system from scratch ourselves. Nowadays, the USB technology soundcards makes it possible that this happens, because in my opinion what is really needed is that Microsoft choose a dozen USB soundcards and incorporate their drivers into the boothing process of the new Operating system and a very basic screen reader (or maybe Window-Eyes) to read the installation prompts until the whole process of the installation is completed. I sincerely hope that this time this suggestion does not fall onto deaf ears.
