[Tektalkdiscussion] Accessible World presents Windows 7, April 27

[Bob Acosta]

    News Wire



Rick Harmon will be showing us the as yet to be released Windows 7 operating system from Microsoft that currently is in Beta and expected to be released by the company next month as a release candidate for general public testing.



A tour of Windows 7 will show how similar to Vista it is yet how different. Rick will discuss the reasons why one might want to try this exciting new operating system out even though it's not officially released yet.  He shows how Windows 7 is almost 100 percent compatible already with Jaws and other screen readers on the market.



Rick will also talk about how Microsoft has given accessibility to all parts of the Windows 7 operating system a higher priority than it has in the past.
