User Interface Automation or UIA is the new microsoft accessibility framework that replaces Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA).
From the overview at UIA fundamentals, it looks like a fairly well thought out framework that addresses the shortcomings of the MSAA world and will hopefully simplify the utterly complex mechanisms that current accessibility technologies have to implement.
The added focus on the use of UIA for automated testing will probably help to push it higher on the priority list of third party control developers - who traditionally haven't either looked at accessibility or only looked at it as an after thought.
