Isn't it interesting that blind people are willing to fight for access to 
ProTools, Facebook and Flash, but when someone mentions the word Microsoft, 
people act  like they're the mouse who has to put the bell around the cat's 
neck?

My suggestions are to raise awareness of the myriad issues that plague this 
particular situation. Speaking directly to Microsoft may be an outcome of this 
awareness, but for one person to go up against Microsoft and demand 
accessibility yields the typical response: "We're working on the problem, and 
we'll get back to you."

Let us not speculate as to Microsoft's stance on accessibility until we hear a 
direct, emphatic and clear "NO!" from the mother corps. I'm all for encouraging 
Apple to develop its suite of productivity software titles to be fully 
accessible, however I believe the end user wants and needs choice, especially 
in the context of corporations that require MS Office.
