[Blindtlk] About the coming Windows 10.

Anything you can preview now is still in beta, so this OS is still a work in progress.

I tried W E on Windows 10 Preview, and wasn't very impressed for the time 
being.  Even NVDA has some minor issues, but that's not for this list.  I'm 
on NDA obviously, so I cannot under any circumstances go into the specifics, 
but I'll at least say this, and this honestly really probably is more than I 
technically speaking should say.  There are some issues with some of the 
tasks that one would probably do on a regular daily basis, when it comes to 
accessibility.  Given time though, I'm quite sure these issues, whatever 
they may be, will be fixed.  All I'm really at liberty though to say is, 
I've tried it, and at least for now with W E 9.1, it's definitely not worth 
it in my opinion for the time being.  It still needs a lot of work, and 
lacks a lot to be desired.

Chris.
