This article was maddening. Seems to ignore not only the largest
installed base of screen readers on the market but also the Mac's
general growth in the marketplace.

60% growth in unity, 67% growth in revenue and no mention in this
article? I'd be curious as to Vista vs. Mac market share since Vista got
lots of press in this article.
"Although major operating systems usually have built-in screen readers
for accessibility by the blind, they are rudimentary at best."
I guess OSX is not a major OS or VO is just rudimentary, or the writer
is just wrong.

Experts say there has been little progress in providing accessible Web sites
and software applications that are usable by the 1.3 million blind Americans
who don't get to experience the full richness of the Internet and the world
of personal computing.
