I'd be willing to bet that we'll never see a screen reader built into Windows that seriously competes with Jaws or WindowEyes.
Why? Because that would put many adaptive tech companies out of business, or at least seriously hurt their bottom line. I wouldn't be surprised if Freedom Scientific and the like would actively fight and lobby against such a move, even though a robust screen reader included with the OS would help so many actual blind people - especially those buying their own equipment.
They'd fight it to simply keep doing what they do. Chris PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
