The difference heere though is that Apple makes VO and Apple makes
iWork. Two totally different things. You can't compare expecting
Apple to know if iWork is accessible with VO to Microsoft knowing if
Word works with Jaws, ttwo very different situations. I think my
expectation is very reasonable.
One interesting thing to share though. If you go to Apple.com you
will find a link to the MacWorld web cast. Beside the link for the
Quicktime video to watch the keynote by Jobs is a special link that
says Voice Over users click here for the audio presentation.

customer service if jaws works with gdi they'd probably say yes.

Hi,
I called the Apple number, 800-my-apple and asked. They make the
products, they should know. The person put me on hold and went to
check. What the heck am I supposed to do, go out and buy it only
to find out it won't work. I think its reasonable to expect the
vendor of my screen reading ttechnology to know if their other
products work with it. Come on.

in all due respect lary, why do you depend on those bumbling
talking sales drone bobble dahls at the apple store or what ever
sales person you called? they're sales persons for mac sake and
they don't know anything.
I swear, the last time I went to apple store was when I was going
to buy a mnini mac and the sales man thought that voice over was a
product made by some one else and didn't know the company he
worked for made it.

After the announcement of the new iWork 2006 I was thinking that
Apple would make it compatible with VO. I called up the sales
folks and asked about it. Turns out that it is not. The sales
person put me on hold, checked and came back saying that iWork
does not support VO.
This is really not good. I've got to wonder about the comittment
of a company when they, who created the software (Voice Over)
keep making applications that are not accessible. What gives here?
