[gui-talk] Windows 7 and total loss of sound

[Jude DaShiell]

It would have been if all Microsoft developers were required to use screen 
readers and not permitted to use mice, but I much doubt a single Microsoft 
developer who worked on Windows 7 ever used a screen reader to develop 
software and maybe (a smaller probability) none of them know what a screen 
reader is or does or who would even have a use for a screen reader.  On my 
job, many has been the time I've talked to N.M.C.I. support staff who 
don't even know screen readers exist let alone anything else about them.  
When Jaws goes through the speaker phone into their ears though, they 
start to get an education. On Sat, 3 Dec 2011, Don H wrote:
