Hi all, Just to let you know, there are some products that I'd recommend you not try right now with Window-Eyes or any other screen reader for that matter. I was just messing around with the beta of Team Foundation Server 11 (yeah I know, I'm very strange. No. I'll actually need build configuration for a project in the future, and I plan to use my server for it.) Well Team Foundation Server configuration is very inaccessible but intuitive if only it worked. For instance, it uses WPF, and all WE can do is read the name of the control rather than what it says, so clicking onto the right configuration screen to install a feature is a trip in itself. I had to guess a couple of times till I hit the right configuration screen (TFS basic.) Then when scrolling through the screens, only parts of it are read out at all, so it's impossible to reclass the window if one doesn't know what the control is supposed to be, right? Well anyway, that's that. Then there were a couple of radio buttons, and I can only reach one of them. The other is unreachable, or seemingly unreachable. It was horrible, so I gave it up. Yeah, really great job on Microsoft's part for designing it that way. I'm definitely going to bring this concern over to the accessibility individuals over there, because this is driving me crazy. We techies should have equal access to uncommon applications as sighted individuals do. Anyway, just to give a warning for those inclined to mess with that kind of stuff. I can only imagine what the client side of VS 11 beta will be like LOL.
