I think that the company should be congratulated. They have at least tried to implement an accessible solution, which even the mighty Microsoft have not bothered to attempt. I think I'm right in saying that Ghost isn't at all accessible, so I'd rather have a company that has made an effort to help us.

Still, I suppose the company should be congratulated for considering accessibility and including speakup. Whether you consider it a nightmare is a matter of oppinion, the fact is that accessibility has been included in a world where that is often not the case. The linux command line is far more powerful than dos and I would suggest that it has a lot to offer a blind user.
