being aware of accessability and implementing it are 2 totally differant
things.
take for example micro soft money, obviously m s is aware of accessability
issues.
they just do not implement it except when their is a law saying that the
government will not buy the software if its not accessable.
then m s seems to do a partial job of implementing access.
not to mention many things in office.
take for example something as simple as the discussion on this list this
week about unintended installations.
one of the requirements is the sound card driver being included with the o s.
so ask your self this simple question, why does m s not include something
as simple not to mention as popular as the driver from creative labs audigy.
in fact m s should try to include the most popular sound card drivers
so blind folks could do more of their own work.
assuming their serious about access for the blind.
back to the spy software.
one may ask micro soft the obvious question, why not buy a anti spy ware
product thhat already existed in the market that is accessable.
like say pest patrol.
granted its access is not perfect it is usable.
that product by the way actually was rated a tie with add aware pro s e for
number one by consumer reports.
m s should actually make access a consideration when purchasing third party
software to include with the o s if their really serious about access.
send the message to the third party market access is importan consideration.
as it stands now its an after thought for the folks in redman.
