Accessiblity for Windows 8

An article from PC World mentioning some improved Accessibility in Windows 8.  I haven't seen WIN8 yet, so we'll take the reviewers word for it.

From the article:
Microsoft's Building Windows 8 blog on Tuesday said the new OS will include improvements to help users with physical disabilities, including vision, mobility, hearing and cognitive impairments. In the post, Jennifer Norberg, lead project manager of the Human Interaction Platform team, focused on the underlying assistive-technology changes to Windows 8, and specific changes to serve users with vision impairments.
 The focus primarily appears to be with magnifier, narrator and meeting industry standards for accessibility.
