I heard that wineyes doesn't work well with classic shell. Maybe wineyes 9
will, but still, why upgrade to windows 8 only to revert it to an older type
OS? Isn't that a testimony to the idea that win 8 isn't the best option for
screen reader users? I think it comes down to whether or not the money you will
save on a new computer during a Christmas sale is worth dealing with the
problems that come with windows 8, and then having to go through the mess of
upgrading from win 8 to win 10, which will probably require sighted assistance.
I recommend waiting.
