Hi Michael,
Actually, we are very close to the full voice input and voice output
type system you are talking about. For the last few Windows versions
Microsoft has included speech recognition software as well as the
Narrator screen reader. From what I've seen of the Windows 8 versions

Hi Shaun,
Hard to say, but the audio games industry will probably have to change
just like everything else. I can't say when, but the way hand-held
devices like the iPhones and Droid phones are selling we could do well,
as audio gamers, to think about targeting those devices as more and more
Hi Shaun,
That's correct. Windows 8 now uses UI Automation which has drastically
improved accessibility and has pretty much done away with the video
intercept drivers we've seen on prior versions of Windows. So access is
actually improving under Windows 8 not getting less accessible.
Cheers
Hi Dennis,
right. I think what is hard for people who are not in business, who are
not programmers, etc to understand is that older products like XP are no
longer making Microsoft money. They released it in 2001 and was selling
it up until 2010 or so. After a certain point they sold as many c

Well, like I've said before there isn't much use in upgrading if it

the problem is this isn't about learning new things or preferring older

Something is nice with the details view of W7 explorer: you can use left

Of course turning extensions always on is the first thing to do with a
