If this is their reasoning, it's balderdash and even if true, it's
antitrust.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Microsoft Office 08 not accessible
For those of you who favor a Machiavellian explanations for Microsoft
making Office 08 not accessible with VoiceOver try out this which came
across my email today.
The reason Microsoft Office 08 for mac is not accessible with
VoiceOver is to protect the Windows screen reader market. Face it one
of the major applications that schools, government and businesses buy
screen readers to work with is Office and if the Mac version of Office
were usable with VoiceOver schools, government and businesses could
just buy a Mac and Office and be done with it. This would weaken the
Windows screen reader market which Microsoft need to be able to sell
to government accounts.
