There are a little more than 60 people beta testing N1MM Plus.  I don't know 
when it will go into public beta stage.  Bugs are being constantly found and 
squashed, and there is a new version released every day.  So it is a work in 
progress, but basically works.
So far I would say that it is at least as difficult to configure with a 
screen reader as the previous VB6-based version was.  There is more 
flexibility in screen layout, fonts, color selection, number of windows 
open, etc., and some of these settings might be useful in providing a better 
screen reader interface.  I have logged a number of QSOs with it, using 
Window-Eyes 8.4.  I haven't configured W-E as much as some of you have.  I 
don't think they have created too many new accessibility problems by using 
VB dot net.  If you are satisfied with Writelog, ACLog, etc., I would stick 
with those.  I know that NVDA can also read the new program's screens. 
There are issues in getting the proper field name read as you use Tab, 
shift-Tab or the spacebar in dialogs and the log entry screen.  I have sent 
my observations and one bug report (an unhandled exception) to the beta 
mailing list, and I think we can get some improvements in functionality as I 
understand the possibilities better.
