disabled using vista

Depends on the disability. The voice recognition works good for me after
getting used to it. The accessability features are good if you have troubles
typing. You can change the colors to make it easier to see, or the magnifier
to see things a bit bigger.

how easy is vista to use by a disabled person?

Since it's a disabled toy operating system, hugely over-priced and too
resource demanding, it should work as well for a disabled person as it
works for one not disabled - not very well.

Love and Kisses,

Confined to a wheelchair? Walk with a limp? Stutter? Blind? Deaf?
Armless? Something else?

Do you think the answer is likely to be the same for all those
disabilities?
 
You forgot cognitively disabled. :-)

That's a rather silly question as asked

There are no silly questions -- only the ones you don't ask.

Patience is a virtue! So is kindness.
 
au contraire. There are indeed silly questions. Questions should have a
little cognitive thought behind them so the time of those trying to help
isn't wasted.
 
"There are no silly questions -- only the ones you don't ask.

I'll second that.

I find it incredulous that someone would condescendingly insult a disabled
person instead of just simply asking what the circumstances were.
 
Did the OP say he/she was challenged? I don't believe so.

I find it incredulous that someone insists on using the derogatory term
"disabled" in place of the more genteel phrase "challenged".

So there.

WRONG: just look at the subject: "disabled using vista"

..
WRONG: Being disabled myself, and my other friends who are also disabled, DETEST
that sniveling, condescending term "challenged". We'll leave gentility to
little old ladies sipping tea on the veranda.

So there.

Isn't that what bratty little school girls say when they have a spat on the

Take a deep breath and relax. The wording never indicated whether the OP was
disabled or just asking for someone else.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with saying I'm disabled. In fact, it very
accurately describes my status, as opposed to the allegedly politically
correct term *challenged*. <gag>

Dis-Abled = I have lost a natural ability to do certain things like I used
to do them.
Handicapped = I need special consideration or assistance to do things. *see
golf...

But Challenged? No, that only applies to the parents of a newborn with
problems, because it is a challenge to create ways to teach a child how to
do something a different way than how you do it yourself. One extreme
example would be using a spoon without thumbs, but it does illustrate my
opinion perfectly.

Thanks for saying directly what I hesitated to.

That's not really relevant to an objection to unnecessary and
condescending rudeness which I am not alone in finding the case with
Barne's reply.

I happen to agree with you in detesting the issue-avoidance of words
like "challenged".
