Hi,

I contacted 5 companies via e-mail asking them if their screen magnifier is
compatible with Windows Me. Henter-joyce didn't reply at all to this question.
One company told me that all screen readers will have no access to the
Windows Me help system. This seems to be confirmed by Microsoft. Micrrosoft
shall NOT SOLVE this in there final release, but in later upgrades.

In my opinion accessibility has no priority at all at Microsoft.
Not the quality of their products is important, but the time to market.
