Harry
I am afraid you are barking up the wrong tree on this one. While
personally I have not tried Windows 7, given what i have read on
various lists, most blind users seem to have little trouble wit it and
have adapted well.
What exactly are you basing your beliefs concerning Windows 7 on? How do
you know that it is inaccessible, as you state, and that it will undo your
previous knowledge of the Windows operating system? Undoubtedly, there is
a learning curve and, I like you, am comfortable with XP.
That, however, is hardly reason to go ballistic and suggest that the legal
system will soon take up the issue.
Unless supported by a national organization, I doubt that the DOJ will
support your threatened action. And I doubt that many will be digging
into their pockets to do that either.
We may be comfortable with xp; but that doesn't mean we won't like a
successor to it.
And, oh yes Harry, you have not been using XP for 12 years as it wasn't
even conceived of in 1997 let alone in production.
Back in 1997, you probably were introduced to Windows with Win 95 and
later likely used more or more succeeding operating systems.
While changes came and went, the basics remained which they do both with
Vista and Windows 7.
So relax, Harry, and the blind pc user will survive; and incidentally,
Windows XP is still here.
One day, we will all upgrade as either old pcs will continue to function
or more likely some new piece of software we wish to use will render
Windows XP obsolete in our minds.
Never...let a single day go by without earnest Bible study.
