Accessibility observations/questions

I work with people who have disabilities and took my first look at Vista this
morning. Of course it looks very nice, but I have three distinct concerns
that I hope can be answered.

1. Within the Advanced Appearance Properties, I may make the scrollbar and
the active title bar larger to provide a larger target for a person who has
trouble with the mouse. When I made changes in Vista, it seemed to apply the
changes to the classic view but not to the the Vista "skin."

2. I wonder if the on-screen keyboard size can be made adjustable by the
user. If that is too difficult, maybe just have a small, medium, and
large-sized on-screen keyboard. Again, a person who has trouble targeting
may prefer the larger target areas - or a person who has no trouble may
prefer a smaller one.

3. I did not have JAWS or ZoomText or other screen reading software on this
Vista computer, but I know people will still want to use these programs. I'm
curious how somebody accesses the sidebar and reads it's information through
the keyboard, or whether it will always read the pathway (Control Panel: Ease
of Access Center: Ease of Access Visual Enhancements...) every time you move
forward or backward. Also I saw the Office 2007 with the ribbons, which are
visually much more informative but is it too long of a list for a person
listening and scrolling through the items only with keystrokes.
