Well, Microsoft demonstrated their concern for accessibility when they
released Windows phone 7.

Subject: Re: Campaign to get an accessible Microsoft Office for the Mac
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.
