off topic: accessibility with mac stuff?

[David Poehlman]

It is my understanding that ms are working on VO support for mac.

ITunes on the Mac can be made mostly to work with VoiceOver but it's  
not as streightforward as it could be.

Does this mean that Coco apps can never be ported to or run in Windows?
If so then Mac users will never have Voice-Over access to the MS office
apps either, will they.  BTW, the windows port of Itunes is dispicable!
It is one of the most inaccessible programs I've seen.  Even with my
Window-Eyes set files, it is very dificult to use.  And furthermore,
Apple apparently has no intentions to support a linux port of itunes.

What little I saw of Voice-Over, I was impressed with the native
environment but it would appear there is a lot of stuff that still won't
work with it.  I still prefer the non proprietary implementation of
Speakup and the Linux kernel.
