This is not sounding good. Children now being targeted? Whats next? People learning how to use the computer? This is way too low for me to even comprehend. Ouch.

June 30th, 2009Window-Eyes 7.1 is now available!
June 28th, 2009I’m not posting the links as clickable at this time. I’m already late, so posting as is.
Greetings,

Window-Eyes 7.1 is packed with features, including support for Windows 7, support for 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7, enhanced Braille functionality, new scripting features for end users and script authors, and more. Window-Eyes 7.1 also continues to build on the foundation of stability, performance, and reliability. The unrivaled Window-Eyes Error Reporting feature has again proved itself invaluable, allowing us to resolve a wide range of issues. We are committed to ensuring a stable computing environment so that you can get your job done, without worrying about crashes and unexpected reboots. You can rely on Window-Eyes.

note on the net update
June 25th, 2009Hi.
Just confirmed this from another list.
this only will apply if you have only 1 account you want to use or don’t have a shared system.
if you have used control userpasswords2 from the run box and have unchecked the users must log in box, after updating.
You may find your system again will ask you to login.
for whatever reason the new assistant update rechecks that box.
uncheck it again in the usual way.
sorry about this but since I only have 1 account on each system I just havn’t bothered.
on the other 2 systems I leave it on for expantion of those systems should the need arrise.
howeverfor my system I do not.
touchscreens
June 24th, 2009and other things?
well the article on the touchscreen was quite good.
interesting, is all I can say.
It does push accessability to the limit, I mean being to interact with the system at such a low level without extra commands and extra lingo to have things is interesting, no vertual cursers of weird stupid jaws commands.
as long as you can read whatever you want not sure if I would have it as my primary interface but still.
avg 8.5.375 is out now.
also there is a dotnet assistant update for 3.5 family and sp2.

Now this is definitely interesting, but wasn’t this covered before? This is definitely not good. Thats for sure. Hopefully Twitter can restore the account. I saw another story about someone closing their updates because of all the spam and attacks. Very interesting.
