Well bruce the reasoning they are using is laim. Auto hot key works with windows 7 you can use all of these as prefixes and even override the windows default if you like. Jaws window-eyes still allows for them to be used so why not skype. The reasoning here escapes me.

I had some very nice shortcuts defined for Skype, they weren't harming anyone, and to be denied the use of themis, as Sarah said, backwards and a whole bunch of other things.

I mean I don't think MS should stop that.
