Hi Kelly,

I fully agree with you!
The help system of the upcoming Windows Me is completely inaccessible to
screen readers.
Microsoft mentioned Windows Me "the most accessible Windows release". The
only advice I can give people using a screen reader DON'T UPGRADE TO
Windows Me.

Microsoft plans to add speech to their reader "in a futrue release" and
also wants to solve the inaccessible help system in Windows Me "in a future
release".

Accessibility topics seems to have NO PRIORITY at all for Microsoft.
