Microsoft has integrated new components into Windows 7 for barrier-free use of the computer. For example, the screen magnifier has been revised: it can now also be used in full-screen mode. A dictionary has also been integrated into the on-screen keyboard, which provides word suggestions during the typing process - similar to T9.

Unfortunately, the screen magnifier does not yet work properly in the current beta version. One of the reasons for this is that large parts of the software are still based on Windows 95. Microsoft is working on this problem.
