It was the second part of the (joke?) story that made me pause, about
virtualisation.
If you could run non-native applications on OSX easily (which I doubt
they could), Voiceover would be useless on all these new, mostly free
Windows applications.
VO requires good use of Apple's platform, which is why some programs
work and some don't. Things like Firefox don't work as they use their
own framework (e.g XUL). Things using another non-Apple framework
wouldn't be accessible without major changes to VO.
Still, I wouldn't worry unless they actually do announce something like
that, there are quite a few reasons they wouldn't want to take that
approach that have nothing to do with accessibility.
Kind regards,
