it just doesn't make sense to me why they would. we should just all feel confertable in the fact that there is a built in fefree usable screen reader on every mac out there. I am not sure why they have to push it. i mean come on its not costing us anything why is it a tool for them to ppush. they won't make more money off it.
I own a Mac Mini and a MacBook that I otherwise wouldn't have. Apple's certainly making money from me because of VO. By pushing it, and raising awareness, they will generate interest in Mac in the VI community, and then VI persons will, in time, switch to Mac if they like what they hear. I'm quite sure Apple makes money from selling Macs. *smile* VO is free with the purchase of Mac OS/X, and so is iLife, iTunes, etc. They certainly tout those other products that, by your logic, aren't making them any money either.
