Hello Mr. Zufelt:

If Microsoft can build a screen reader that compares favourably to what 
Apple has, I shall be the most happy fellow on earth!  If Microsoft's screen 
reader can read almost any program I throw at it, example, Point of Sale 
software et al, I will not need to HIRE A SCRIPTER and pay a hefty sum just 
so I can staill somewhat marginally gainfully employed.

Microsoft's entry to the screen reader world WILL NOT put screen reader 
developers out of business.  There will be areas which the Microsoft screen 
reader MAY NOT ADEQUATELY address, and this is where these developers will 
shine.  Microsoft's entry into this market SHOULD SPAR AND ENCOURAGE 
COMPETITION, and perhaps FORCE CURRENT DEVELOPERS to pay more attention to 
SQUASHING BUGS as opposed to introducing useless newer and better crap and 
charging me an arm and a toe to upgrade.

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
