It's okay, my first one came in later than my reply to david's reply regarding this.

James,

Apple has tried an opposite approach to accessibility in Mac OS from that in Windows, one that I believe is better. It puts the responsibility on the developers of the software to make their software accessible. This prevents all the responsibility falling on one team's shoulders, as it primarily is with WIndows screen readers. (i.e., if a program isn't accessible, it is up to FS or GW to make it so.) This is Apple's philosophy, which they even discussed explicitly at CSUN. Therefore, it is, without question, Microsoft's responsibility to make their own software comply with accessibility standards.
