Uhh, I must correct one misconception in this email.
Ms *did* produce a screen reader years ago.
At that time, a few screenreader manufacturers blew their top,
threatened all sorts of legal action, and (surprisingly enough) ms
caved.
They didn't toss their efforts entirely though, they turned it into
narrator, which still exists even in the latest version of windows.
So, in this case, don't blame ms. This is actually the first (and in
my opinion) one of the only times that ms actually tried to do the
right thing, then gave in to bad pressure to do the wrong thing, and
thus, the visually impaired market was once again left to the mercy
of the large screen reader manufacturers.
Most things ms does don't make sense to me, and this one is no
exception, but at least in this particular instance, ms isn't to
blame here.
