WE doesn't work well with IE 9 nor does it work well with flash.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to very respectfully disagree about IE 9.
I just upgraded a while back and have had absolutely no trouble using it
at all. in fact, i'm noticing that pages load even faster with IE 9. As
for flash...it's all in how it's implemented. Some web authors use
flash without implementing accessibility, which is why you see pages
that have unlabeled buttons. So, it's all in how it's written up.

Has GW lost its relationship with Microsoft and adobe thus limiting WE
ability to work well with the latest versions? Will GW ever catch up
and not be a good screen reader but at the top when it comes to
supporting the latest and greatest.
To my knowledge, they still have very good relationships with both
Microsoft and Adobe, i'm sure one of the GW guys will respond as well.
But for me, i'm actually really glad I upgraded to ie 9. and whenever
possible I contact the website developer where there are unlabeled
buttons and explain to them that they can implement accessibility and
label those buttons.
