Thanks everyone. From Wednesday morning I would ask that everyone tweets @Thurrott with the following:
#AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte
You could write a message like this:
Because Microsoft invested in accessibility, I can use SCCM to administer thousands of workstations. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte
Narrator in Windows 10 is becoming a very powerful screen reader. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte
Because Microsoft works with companies like Freedom Scientific and NVAccess, Windows 10 is very accessible. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte
I administer 104,000 users in active directory. It's fully accessible. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte
I'm a full stack developer thanks to Visual studio. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte
Windows Weekly airs again tomorrow, Wednesday. I really want the messages relating to accessibility to be clear in Paul's, Mary's and Leo's mind while they sit down to present tomorrow's show.
Feel free to ask people to retweet.
I agree that The OOB experience could be better.
And I know I don't need to say it but just for the benefit of others, the points I was making weren't related to the OOB. Certain people who disagree with me are trying to conflate my points to associate them with frustrations around OOB but my issues are with how Paul attacked accessibility. Not the way he attacked the OOB.
I'm just saying this again here. Not because I think people are misunderstanding me but because I have been misunderstood, sometimes intentionally on some other forums.

Hi,
Have you had any response to paul on Twitter yet? He has responded to me a couple of times there, but this is a different point entirely.

Thanks for highlighting this.
I recorded this to hopefully get the message out that Paul Thurrott was very wrong in what he was saying. I'm hoping that they will correct him on Wednesday.

The below podcast I would suggest you have a listen too. The original podcast is from Windows weekly episode 603 where this host makes a large number of negative statements against accessibility for the vision impaired in windows. They are design to get an reaction. The host of the below podcast does an excellent job in highlighting the errors.
