This is erroneous. Many Linux users have various desktop environments similar to the Mac OS X GUI and Windows. One of the most prominent Linux environments is GNOME, which has a decent accessibility infrastructure comparable to the Apple Accessibility API. The GNOME screen reader of today is the relevatively new Orca: http://live.gnome.org/Orca Orca is under rapid development, and facilitates access to applications such as Firefox and OpenOffice.org that are not accessible to VoiceOver. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
