Pozdrav svima.  Kao sto mozda neki od vas znaju, Microsoft je u petak 
izbacio prvu beta verziju svoga sobstvenoga anti-spyware software-a.  Ovaj 
software je vrlo ne pristupacan sa jaws-om i skoro ga je nemoguce koristiti. 
Tekst koji vam prenosi je na engleskom i u njemu se objasnjava da je vrlo 
vazno da sto vise nas kontaktira microsoft i objasni da ovaj software nije 
pristupacan za jaws ondonsno uopste bilo koje screanreader-e i da sto vise 
nas kontaktira MS postoje vece sanse da MS nesto uradi oko toga.  U tekstu 
je link preko kojega se mogu poslati komentari i misljenja microsoft-u, a tu 
je i tekst koji mozete kopirati ako ne zelite da napisete svoje pismo.  Tu 
su i instrukcije tacno kako koristiti microsoftovu feadback formu na koju 
mozete poslati vase misljenje odnosno zahtjev.  Autor ovog teksta tvrdi da 
je ovaj anty-spyware software naj bolji na trzistu.  Ja nisam siguran dali 
ili ne je to bas tako, ali prema svemu sto sam procitao do sada izgleda vrlo 
dobar software, mozda cak bolji od adaware-a ili spybot-a, naravno ovo je 
jos uvijek beta.  U ovom tekstu je i link gdje se software moze preuzeti, ja 
sam ga pokusao koristiti i totalno se slazem da je koristenje ovoga 
software-a sa jaws-om prosto ne moguce.
