That is true, you often hear windows screen reader companies say
something like, "we've been working with this or that company." The
thing is, other than msaa and UI automation, there really aren't any
accessibility apis in Windows that I know of.

I believe Opera actually does now expose content and functionality to
MSAA on Windows.
This doesn't get you very far since MSAA is far too coarse for complex
applications, especially web applications. It will likely require
further collaboration between Opera and Windows screen reader
developers
to obtain acceptable results.
