Eli, good question. Until to 15 minutes ago I thought that only console 
version is accesible by screen reader nvda. But I read a thread on emacs 
list that there is a trick to make it working on gui version too, with 
(setq w32-use-visible-system-caret t).

So I think I'll stop posting bug reports for console emacs, at least on 
Windows.

Thanks
Jarek
