Indeed, the education sector/section-508 (in the US) looks, on the existing 
evidence at least, to have been the cause for Apple’s commitment.  A shame, I 
suppose, that it always takes legislation to set of this sort of thing.

Can you remember when about which period it was that your institution decided 
to convert to Windows for this reason?  The one thing I’ve not yet been clear 
on is when Apple’s APIs were actually substantial enough.  For example it is 
documented that 10.2 or thereabouts contained support enough, but the screen 
reader did not actually appear until Panther (as Spoken interface Preview).  
Could it have been that, though present, the APIs were simply not documented?  
And in which case, when did the documentation appear?  It’s certainly available 
now.
