From all the things I read, and the people I talk to, there are still a few rough edges with some assistive technology, but if you are using a recent release of a major AT product, things seem to be working pretty well. Some products are not yet able to use Edge, the new browser. Freedom Scientific has info on its web page about upgrading, and what you have to do for Windows 10.

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility of Windows 10

Hello All:

Except for this article by the NFB -
https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/installers-beware-microsoft-drops-ball-accessibility-windows-10
-
I haven't seen much on accessibility problems of Windows 10. What is the gist on accessibility of Windows 10. I do get the sense that folks using AT are using it successfully.

Thanks in advance,
Howard
