Thanks for posting this info.
Hm. Wonder what that means. Do you guess they'll write to this model
for their Mac applications - as opposed to the native Mac frameworks
and the Mac Accessibility API? I know you'd just be guessing...but
any thoughts? After reading the doc at the link you provided I'm
inclined to believe it'll be the former i.e. if they're promoting a
cross-platform accessible UI standard it would seem they'd promote
the "standard" by using it, well, cross-platform. Would seem a losing
proposition on the Mac, however? From an accessibility perspective,
could spell the end of usable Microsoft applications on the Mac...or
I should say "potential for accessible Microsoft applications on the
Mac" since they've not been accessible up until now.
