Ann,

Microsoft is trying to "reinvent" itself based on the web.  With .net, your
applications and files all reside on some server in the sky, and you access
by logging into your desktop.  No matter what computer you use, your files
will be in the location that you put them, just like you were in your own
office.

At least, this is my understanding of the hype, which is all we have so far.
But, does this mean that you have your screen reader on any computer on the
network?  Or your Braille display?  I want to know the impact of all of
this.
