Correct, it is up to Microsoft. This is a difference between WIndows Screen readers and VoiceOver. Apple has pushed the responsibility onto the developer and as I understand it this is not an impossible or burdensome process. I have obtained a number to someone at Microsoft and I'm going to

Aman, Your message does mix a number of things here, but the end result is the Mac is beyond what your willing to spend and that is pretty much where it should end. Any argument beyond that is pointless. The most unrealistic part is breaking this down to components. The average user is not at

Aman, Incorrect. Microsoft has been able to dominate the market simply by virtue of the fact that so many manufacturers install that OS. If APple were to allow the same thing, I suspect the song would be quite different. THis whole issue of adaptability holds no water and as I said is

I disagree the Mac is ridiculously priced. In fact the cost of ownership for a Mac user will be less than a PC user. Sure you pay more on the front-end, but the cost of upgrading the OS, applications, and so forth is less, and you are getting a more quality product for your dollar. There is a
