After a little experimenting and tinkering, I've had no problem using it.
While I think there might be something of an adjustment period, I also think
there are some real improvements with speed and responsiveness that make
adjustment worthwhile. One thing that might help is to try the different
check boxes under the categories. I don't recall which one I have checked in
music, but under books, I checked list and now I have the column browsers
back the way I like them. Oh, also you will need to turn the sidebar on as
well, this restores the old style display bar that contains the column
browser. There is also a way to restore the old status bar, but I haven't
tried that as of yet and can't recall what the process is to do that.
Gizmodo, Cnet and other tech sites all have articles discussing the new
iTunes, I got a lot of information from the Gizmodo article which I seem to
have failed to bookmark or I would send the URL. The article was posted
yesterday, so it should still be available on their main page. Window Eyes
does not seem to read which menu you are on in the ribbon, but they are in
the same order they have always been, so I have had no trouble getting to
the menu I want when I am trying to open one. I wish they would make the
store as responsive as iTunes 11 and would give it a makeover as well, but I
guess one can only expect so much from a single version update. While I am
not doing cartwheels of excitement over this new version, I am seriously
pleased by the speed improvements and so far haven't encountered anything I
can't do that I could do before, but it is early days yet.
One thing to keep in mind as a WE user is that GW Micro has been really good
at updating the iTunes app when needed. I don't know if they will be able to
get an update out quickly with WE 8 heading towards official release, but I
suspect that they will do as much as they can to solve or improve any issues
WE users encounter that are addressable on their end through the app as soon
as they are able. Since Apple kept a tight lid on this update and generally
aren't known for sharing such things with third party developers anyway, it
is likely that the GW Micro crew are getting their hands on iTunes 11 just
as we are, so it might take some time for them to even determine what might
be needed.
HTH,
Chris

Has anyone been able to get anywhere with ITunes 11? I don't think Apple
made this program Blind friendly to PC users.
