Rick Harmon will be showing us the as yet to be released Windows 7
operating system from Microsoft that currently is in Beta and expected
to be released by the company next month as a release candidate for
general public testing.

A tour of Windows 7 will show how similar to Vista it is yet how
different. Rick will discuss the reasons why one might want to try this
exciting new operating system  out even though it's not officially
released yet. He shows how Windows 7 is almost 100 percent
compatible already with Jaws and other screen readers on the
market.

Rick will also talk about how Microsoft has given accessibility to
all parts of the Windows 7 operating system a higher priority than
it has in the past.
