This is exactly why I created the International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. See www.iavit.org. We are currently seeking members for the Outreach Committee. The Outreach Committee will be responsible for prioritizing accessibility needs of blind systems administrators and then contacting companies who's products are inaccessible. If you're interested, please let me know. Personally, VMWare would be high on my list of companies who we would like to work with to improve the accessibility of their products. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darragh OHeiligh" <Darragh.OHeiligh@Oireachtas.ie> To: <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 9:15 AM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] VMWare View administrator Good afternoon, I was horrified and very annoyed to find that after updating to the latest version of VMWare View, the administrative site is flash based and I am unable to read everything that I need to access. What the hell are these companies playing at! Is it seriously too much to ask that they create interfaces that are accessible? Or at the very least not inaccessible? I don't mind having to work at things but I'm getting very tired of companies unknowingly putting obsticles in the way. Especially when I have a job to do. Have any of you come across this in the latest version of the ESX related tools? Before I do any more upgrading of our environment do you know if there is anything else I need to look out for? I'm becoming a very intollerent person when it comes to these updates. Why and howe they made what was a reasonably nice interface to navigate around a completely inaccessible flash based tragity I just cant understand.
