Needs educating: Message from Linux (fwd)

[David Arocho]

Windows is still the predominant operating system used in business and it
is just unfortunate that there has not been sufficient pressure brought to
bear on Microsoft to make it accessible and affordable for blind and
visually impaired users.  It is not conscionable that one can get a
computer for under five hundred dollars, but Braille and speech access is
available only to those who can afford thousands.  The same thing may
happen with x-windows if we don't get in on the ground floor.  Without
x-windows, or something like it, Linux will never compete with the
Microsofts of the world, and Linux will remain a tool in the hands of a
minority.
