RE: OS X Mavericks, Wait a bit

2013-10-22 Thread David Griffith
As a matter of interest, do you still give this advice given the apparent
improvement in the accessibility of the iWorks suite that is emerging
tonight?

Subject: OS X Mavricks, Wait a bit

Hi All,

Now that OS X 10.9, AKA Mavericks, has finally entered public release, it is
acceptable to mention it on this list without violating the NDA. :) That
being said, I want to gently suggest that VoiceOver users wait to upgrade
for a little while, as there are still some issues unresolved from the
accessibility testing process.
While I personally do not consider any of these game breaking, per se, they
are significant enough to cause some confusion and annoyance. I suggest just
waiting until at least the first general update to the system before
committing yourself. In particular, iBooks accessibility is not all that
might be hoped-for. It is being actively worked on, and will be improved in
the coming weeks.
Warmest regards,
Zack.

Given that the iWork sweet improvements are new to me as well, I’d still say 
somewhat yes. The improved accessibility does make a very compelling argument 
though.
Best,
Zack.
