[gui-talk] moving to apple

[Mike Arrigo]

There are some similarities, such as menu bars, check boxes, buttons, 
etc. It does take some getting used to, there are some differences, for 
example, there is no start menu, instead you open applications from the 
dock at the bottom of the screen or the applications folder. also, even 
with new operating systems, Apple does not change the basic user 
interface, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Microsoft, for whatever 
reason seems to change the windows interface with each release.
I would say the voiceover screen reader has all of the features of any 
major windows screen reader, and for many things, actually works better 
than the Windows screen readers do.
