I agree with David here, but I also wonder how much of Apple's sales are effected by their commitment to accessibility. For example, how many government sales or small business sales or educational sales wouldn't have even been possible if they weren't able to demonstrate that they had an accessible solution and meet the various regulations and laws, at least here in the US? I think this would explode the 100K figure by quite a bit, although I'm not sure it's possible to capture such a number. I also don't mean to take away from Apple's commitment to accessibility. I think their commitment goes beyond just bottom line dollars and cents, although they are a business, and I don't think they're doing it entirely out of the kindness of their corporate hearts.
