It was stated from the beginning that in order for an app to be
accessible, it had to be coded. It was stated from the beginning
that ITunes was popular among windows users and to code it accessibly
for VO would break it for windows. No One is less frustrated than you.

I just find it frustrating how the rules--o peoples' perceptions of
them--change instead of people admitting there are legitimate
complaints.
For months we waited for iTunes to show some signs of going toward
accessibility; when that didn't happen we started hearing how this
wasn't going to happen anyway because of the cross-platform issues.
When somebody complains that vo isn't being upgraded, suddenly we
shouldn't expect to see an upgrade because it's upgraded with the OS.
When the latest OS upgrade totally messes up my ability to navigate
the radioshark menus and window, I should expect breakage because
after all radioshark is a third-party app. When people don't get
answers from the accessibility email, from which some people have
received replies in the past, suddenly that's probably just a
suggestion box anyway. While some or all of these premises may have
their merit, I'm seeing a trend to justify whatever's wrong and make
it into something that's our own fault or something we shouldn't
expect anyway. Not aiming this at any particular person; just a trend
I'm seeing that I don't intend to follow.
