Also remember that Sun's Peter Korn and his access project just got 12
million Euros to put into the access projects.  If they just put a few
hundred thousand into hiring some coders for the Orca project they will
advance that OS past jaws in less than a year.

don't forget that jaws is not a microsoft software and, taking software only

from the two grand companies, sun is better than microsoft.
Because, with orca you can do more than with narator from windows.
So Sun has right assuming it as the best company offering an advanced os 
with speak.
