[nfbcs] Fwd: Collecting Information for Microsoft's new CAO

[Christopher Chaltain]

I don't understand. This isn't true at all. I've installed Linux more 
times than I can count with the Orca screen reader. This is true on bare 
metal and in a virtual machine. I don't see why the same couldn't be 
true on Windows, and in fact, I've used Narrator to set up a system 
where the OS was already installed, so I don't see that it's a big leap 
to be able to use Narrator during an install. If I had a Windows 10 CD, 
I'd pop it into my system, hit the Windows+Enter hot key to start 
Narrator and see how far I could get.
