Microsoft UI Automation is the new model for exposing rich semantic information about an application's interface and using that information to create assistive technology products or automated testing utilities. It is designed to provide a single reliable source of graphical UI information across applications and allow test developers or assistive technology developers to write to a consistent model that works with any GUI application. It will be available with Microsoft Windows Vista®.
Microsoft Active Accessibility 2.0 is a COM-based technology that improves the way accessibility aids work with applications running on Microsoft Windows® operating systems.
