February 10 Dear List:
Well is Microsoft talking about "Windows 7" or not. My guess is based on the variety of press the blogs are posting, something is in the works. Time to wait for the first alpha to hit the streets.

Microsoft already trimming Windows 7 features, DirectX 11 on the outs?
Filed under: Desktops, Gaming, Laptops 
It might be a bit early for us to be talking Windows 7 feature cuts, but that said, isn't it a bit early for Microsoft to be talking Windows 7 feature cuts? If The Inquirer's "reliable sources" are to be believed, Microsoft is giving DirectX 11 the boot from its next version of Windows to keep hardware requirements down -- apparently the DirectX 10 requirements of Vista were enough of that sort of trouble for one decade. Obviously there's no official word on Microsoft at the moment, so we'll reserve judgment for the time being -- and hey, maybe no DirectX 11 wouldn't ruin our year -- but with the endless quantity of features cut from Vista still fresh in our memory, this is certainly not an encouraging sign if true.

Subject: FW: The New Safari Is Amazingly Quick, Firefox Watch Out
Message from NewsGator subscriber unknown unknown: Lets get safari on the PC then!
Post from NewsGator.com:
The New Safari Is Amazingly Quick, Firefox Watch Out
 Computerworld had a review up Friday on the latest build of Apple’s Safari browser, the development version “WebKit” . Like Firefox builds these are evaluation/ testing builds so can be prone to bugs, but like Firefox what you see in these builds is usually what’s coming to the browser itself some time into the future.
Computerworld said it was quick, so I tested it. They weren’t lying.
Running on a MacPro with twin 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 4gb of RAM on a 2mb Cable connection, WebKit ran at between 2 to 6 times faster than the latest version of Firefox 3 on a couple of different tests. Computerworld notes that on average it’s 2.5 times faster than the current version of Safari, and says this: There is no other way to say it. Holy cow is this thing fast! I am currently testing Webkit build r30090 against standard Leopard Safari 3.04. This unoptimized WebKit build version is running circles around the standard Safari browser. It isn’t even close. Tests mean nothing more than numbers on a screen to me, it’s the use that counts, and to say that this brings an entirely different experience speed wise to general websites is to understate the difference. It has to be seen to be believed. I’m not sure whether it’s as quick on Windows, but if it’s even half as quick again it’s going to be good.
Safari doesn’t have the features, or more importantly the plugins and addons Firefox has so many will stick with Firefox, but the Webkit lifts the bar that much higher in terms of speed that this could be the year Apple finally makes a dent in the browser space. And if enough people switch we might start to see more in the way of addons during the year.
The current version of Webkit isn’t recommeded for everyone; as a developer build it’s bound to have bugs (although I haven’t hit any yet) but if you’re either brave or want to be on the cutting edge, download it and give it a go.

Microsoft on Thursday issued advance notice of 12 security bulletins ahead of its February batch of patches with seven critical flaws affecting Vista, Internet Explorer and Office. The most notable patch will likely cover that Excel zero day vulnerability that surfaced last month. Microsoft confirmed the Excel vulnerability on Jan. 16. In its advance notification posting, Microsoft said the seven critical bulletins all cover remote code executions vulnerabilities. These bulletins affect Windows XP and Vista, Office, Internet Explorer and Visual Basic. I'll be back with more in a bit. In the meantime, here are the details on Microsoft's dirty dozen. February 06 From: Donald Melanson Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:04 PM Subject: ViewPlus intros upgraded IVEO hands-on learning system Filed under: Misc. Gadgets  It won't give you the non-stop learning of something like LeapFrog's handhelds, but ViewPlus seems to think its new and improved IVEO system has its share of knowledge to spread nonetheless, although all that learning doesn't exactly come cheap. Coming in at just under $600 for the basic kit, the system is centered around the IVEO touchpad (available in two different sizes), which can accommodate special tactile templates or custom templates made with the IVEO Creator software (available at an added cost). Those, in turn, interact with the IVEO Viewer software, which pumps out sound clips and other information about the items the user touches. While the company obviously thinks that makes the system ideal for all students, they say its also particularly well-suited to those people with visual or learning disabilities, and it even includes an output for a Braille display. If that sounds like the tool for you, you can grab the whole bundle now for $1,300, with additional curriculum packs for biology, math, health and geography coming soon.

Maestro 2.1 now available: Blind people can now surf the Web from the palm of their hand! Longueuil, February 5, 2008 -- HumanWare is proud to announce the release of the new version of Maestro, expanding the capabilities of the first off-the-shelf accessible PDA. Visually impaired can now surf the Web from the palm of their hands and in a 100% accessible environment. Maestro consists of a standard PDA (handheld computer) with a tactile overlay allowing people to use commands and enter data intuitively by touch. The information is sent to the user in audio form using integrated voice synthesis. Maestro users can therefore organize their appointments and address books, consult and edit text documents, record voice notes, read books, organize e-mail, listen to music and even get GPS guidance with the Trekker option… all in the palm of their hand. As with other Maestro applications, the Web browser offers a set of features maximized for an efficient navigation experience while on the go. Through a robust engine, our clients can quickly navigate links, headings, frames, and fill out forms on web pages. They can enjoy using familiar screen reader commands and read pages as if they were on a desktop computer. The Maestro built-in Wi-Fi with simple wizard makes it easier to find and connect to preferred networks. "As we promised over the last year, we now bring the extra functionalities of Maestro to our existing and future loyal users," said Lucia Gomez, Product Manager for Maestro and Trekker. "With this new version, Maestro offers the applications currently available in a Notetaker, at a fraction of the price and size." Maestro can be complemented with Trekker, the most popular GPS orientation tool for visually impaired and blind people. With Trekker, users can pinpoint exactly where they are, learn about area attractions, and find out how to reach specific destinations. As both applications are compatible with each other, Trekker users can install Maestro on their system, and Maestro users can install Trekker. Maestro 2.1 is now available for free upgrade on our Web site. A detailed list of the new features is also available at the following address: www.humanware.ca/web/en/maestro-trekker-upgrade.html For more information on Maestro please visit: www.humanware.ca/web/en/maestro.html For more information on Trekker please visit: www.humanware.ca/web/en/trekker.html About HumanWare HumanWare (www.humanware.com) is the global leader in assistive technologies for the print disabled.

Not like Windows Mobile 6.1 is an elaborate mystery or anything -- heck, we even know all about the improvements it's slated to bring -- but there's nothing like a bucketful of screenshots surrounded by machine translated opinions to really revive that enthusiasm. Sure enough, the folks over at PocketPT were able get ahold of the software and show off just how it handled webpage zooming, threaded SMS conversations and Office 2007 documents.

2008 ATIA Conference HumanWare presents
ClassMate Reader, A revolutionary Portable reading system for K-12 students with reading difficulties.  Orlando, Florida, January 29 - During ATIA's conference being held this week in Orlando, Florida, HumanWare will present the ClassMate Reader, a revolutionary tool to help students in and out of the classroom improve reading comprehension, increase reading speed and develop strong vocabulary. This tool is indispensable for students who need to refer back to previously recorded notes, tests or chapter summaries, as well as for "anytime, anywhere" learning.
The ClassMate Reader is a unique, portable and lightweight system about the size of a portable gaming system with a large color LCD screen. Students can listen to the audio version of their textbooks and study materials, while following the highlighted text on screen. This portable system is ideal for students in any learning setting, including the classroom, resource room, library, extended learning programs and at home. The system promotes phonetic recognition and fluency, and will significantly boost the support of teachers who work with students who are dyslexic. The ClassMate Reader has several features only found on more expansive PC-based software solutions such as text-to-speech, highlighting, dictionary, text and vocal notes and audio book navigation. It can be part of the teacher's strategy to build students' independence in the learning process and enhance their confidence and self-esteem. The system's design was carefully crafted to engage students and dispel the notion that assistive devices are unappealing. Scientific studies have demonstrated the advantages of a multi-modal based reading approach (audio and visual) for dyslexic students. With the simultaneous use of text and audio, students will improve their reading comprehension, which is conducive to improve academic achievement and higher test scores. The ClassMate Reader can be used as an accommodation when administering tests, eliminating the need for the teacher to read the exam to students. The ClassMate's study features are built to assist in retrieving information through the use of text notes, highlighting, bookmarks and voice notes. The ClassMate Reader can play various electronic book formats starting with the new NIMAS (National Instructional Material Accessible Standard) format, including DAISY, Bookshare.org, text, wav, MP3 and audio files. The player also provides integrated text-to-speech for reading books in text format, such as those from Bookshare.org. It uses a removable SD flash memory card or USB memory stick to store books and electronic texts. It can easily transfer files from a PC with its standard USB connection. Brenda McBride, Product Manager for HumanWare said, "We developed the ClassMate Reader from input of students with learning disabilities and their supportive networks around the country. Taking their needs into account, we better understood the features and tools they require to be successful readers and lifelong learners. I am especially excited about our built-in dictionary to help students instantly look up words with vocal output." The ClassMate offers all of the most advanced DAISY functions, as well as navigation capabilities for any book or textbook. Students will appreciate the ClassMate Reader for quickly and effectively consulting their school books, making voice notes, study and practice and recording their teacher during class. Attendees at the ATIA conference can watch demonstrations of ClassMate by visiting the HumanWare booth (Booth #522). Presentations and special events for the launch of ClassMate are also planned during the ATIA Conference. The ClassMate is available for purchase online in the U.S. at www.humanware.com or from Don Johnston Incorporated at www.donjohnston.com (800-999-4660) at an affordable price of $439. About HumanWare

For Immediate Release Contact: Dan Weirich GW Micro, Inc. Ph. 260-489-3671 FAX 260-489-2608 dan@gwmicro.comwww.gwmicro.com Window-Eyes 6.0 Released and Available for Purchase and Download (FORT WAYNE, IN, December 4, 2006) - GW Micro, a leader in blindness-related assistive technology, announced the final release of Window-Eyes 6.0, the screen reading software that provides computer access to those who are blind or visually impaired. With the release of the new version of Window-Eyes, blind consumers now have unparalleled access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003 and the new Microsoft Office 2007. GW Micro has also made history by making the Outlook Calendar fully accessible.
“We continue to innovate the latest screen reading technology,” said Doug Geoffray, VP of Product Development and Support. “Window-Eyes has raised the bar yet again, and now provides better support for the Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, over any other screen reader in the world.”
Window-Eyes was the first screen reader to offer support for Microsoft Office 2007 when the first public beta of Window-Eyes 6.0 was released. “When we released the public beta, it unleashed a whole new array of technology that has never before been seen in the screen reading industry,” said Geoffray. “We released full support for Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox 2, Office 2007, and the Outlook Calendar, among other things. These are crucial applications for any blind person in an employment situation, and Window-Eyes was the first to deliver them.”
GW Micro has proclaimed for years that its Window-Eyes software is the most stable screen reading software on the market, which is why it always enters a public beta cycle before the full release of a new version. “Our philosophy has always been that if your screen reader causes your computer to crash, it’s not just an inconvenience, it’s unacceptable. For this reason, we always have a public beta, unlike some of our competitors,” said Geoffray. “While the public beta cycle delays the final release of Window-Eyes, it is more important to us to have a quality product than to put out software that doesn’t work correctly, which causes large problems for blind consumers.”
“Lots of people ask us how we decide what to include in each version,” said Dan Weirich, VP of Sales and Engineering. “We get lots of feedback from our customers, and then implement those solutions. The largest problem we have found over the last year is that most businesses are using Outlook as the primary way to schedule meetings and other appointments. Since the Outlook Calendar has traditionally been inaccessible to blind consumers, we decided that something must be done as soon as possible to make it accessible.”
When asked about Windows Vista, Weirich said, “All customers who purchase 6.0 will be entitled to receive an additional software upgrade that will enable Window-Eyes to work on Windows Vista. In fact, we have been the only screen reader that Microsoft has been demonstrating when they give public demonstrations of Windows Vista, as we continue to raise the bar for screen readers.”
GW Micro introduces the following new features of Window-Eyes 6.0:
Microsoft PowerPoint
Outlook Calendar - Provides user with full access to the Outlook Calendar
Outlook/Outlook Express Email - Hot keys allow the user to read and access all mail fields, including attachments
Internet Explorer 7
Microsoft Office 2007 - Support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
Window-Eyes Key Describer - Gives user the ability to have all Window-Eyes hot keys described
Tip of the Day
Application Help
Window-Eyes Set File Manager
New hot keys to perform tasks, such as toggling voice off, shutting down Window-Eyes, and read battery level
Mouse pointer announcements
Enhanced Braille features, such as global and local Braille settings
Window-Eyes 6.0 has already shipped to GW Micro dealers. Customers can find their local dealer at www.gwmicro.com/dealers for a demonstration of the new features. For new customers, Window-Eyes retails for $895. GW Micro also offers a Window-Eyes Payment Plan to pay over time. If you are a current Window-Eyes customer, and own an SMA or already purchased an upgrade, your CD is being processed and you will be receiving it soon. If you are currently using Window-Eyes 5.5, and have purchased the upgrade, you may also download the upgrade using either the Window-Eyes Update option from the Window-Eyes Help menu, or by visiting the Window-Eyes upgrade web site, http://www.gwmicro.com/upgrade.
