Micro$oft's attitude officially is they've got to help with
accessibility or somebody else will.
The actual practice and that's far more important than
attitude is Micro$oft will first do an innovation
that breaks access; then retrofit to get some parts of access,
then come out with another inovation that breaks access again and the beat
goes on.
There are blind employees at Micro$oft, but I'll not speak to whether
they're their as tokens or actually involved in real projects
that affect product output.
I know that micro$oft internet exploiter for winblows 3.1
doesn't work with screen review software written for winblows at all well,
while the winblows '95 version works fine.
Evidently the differences in the shells are such that active-x which is
what makes
win '95 work internet exploiter couldn't be implemented in 3.1.
