eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft is in the process of transitioning from its old accessibility model to a new model supported in Windows Vista. Microsoft is moving from its MSAA model to a new cross-platform accessibility model called User Interface Automation, which will be supported in Windows XP and Windows Vista, said Rob Sinclair, director of Microsoft's Accessible Technology Group.
One of the chief architects of UI Automation, Sinclair is leading the efforts to promote the advantages of moving the industry toward adopting one accessibility standard.
